"I am a proud Indian, it's the land of celebration with all the festivals, vibrance and, most importantly, emotions. That is what I took to Miss World! Being associated with Malabar Gold has been wonderful, a relationship which is close to my heart with moments that are special to every Indian," Manushi said in a statement.

Said Malabar Group Chairman M.P. Ahammed: "First, the world was bowled over by her intelligence in the Miss World contest where she said mother's job deserved the biggest salary in the world.
