Later explaining her emotional story, Madhu recalled that she had tears trickling down the eyes when her daughter won the beauty pageant. Throwing light on the same, she said, “I had tears streaming down my eyes what’s going to happen. I just need to hug her. And when I hugged her I spoke the stupidest thing. Instead of telling her that I was so glad, so happy that you’re Miss World. I said, Babe, now what will happen to your studies."
