Heartfelt Message for Delhi and the Nation

In her message, Manika wrote,

“To my fellow Indians, to my dear Delhi, and to every family touched by the recent, heartbreaking blast, today, my heart is heavy, and my spirit mourns with you. The news of the bomb blast in our beloved national capital has sent a wave of shock and profound sorrow across the country.”

“We Will Heal, Together”

Manika, who was crowned Miss Universe India 2025 earlier this year, emphasised that her title carries a deeper purpose.

“For me, wearing the crown of Miss Universe India is a profound responsibility. It is a platform to speak for unity, peace, and compassion, especially when our collective heart is breaking. I use that voice today to say: we will not be divided. We will care for one another. We will heal, together.”

She urged citizens to choose unity over fear and hope over despair, calling on everyone to honour the victims by staying strong and united as a nation.
