Manushi during the press conference addressed questions regarding beauty standards and cosmetic procedures. She differentiated between cosmetic enhancements and personal choices and talked about the subjective nature of beauty. She said, "They are two very different things, firstly. Secondly, if you look at the history of our country, cosmetologists have existed for thousands of years.”

The former Miss World continued, “Beauty is subjective and everyone has a choice to determine what they want to look like. If they want to change something, that's very personal. I don't think anyone else can really judge them for that. We don't get to decide. Keeping that aside, what we are talking about is very different. It's not something that has to be discussed by others. As long as you are making informed choices, it's perfectly fine."
