The title of Mrs. Magnificent is awarded to the contestant who best embodies elegance, inner strength, and a strong sense of social and cultural identity—values that Manasi brought to life through both her performance and presence.
A long-time practitioner of Indian classical arts, Manasi has spent years mastering Odissi, one of India’s oldest and most expressive dance forms. She has performed extensively across Odisha and believes her mission now is to take this cultural legacy to a national and global stage.
“Odisha is a treasure trove of music, dance, and traditional art,” she said. “As a classical singer and dancer, I feel it is my responsibility to serve as a cultural ambassador—not only for my state but for India as a whole. This title is just the beginning.”

“To every woman who feels like time has passed them by—believe in yourself. Step out of your comfort zone. Chase your dreams,” she said. “I dedicate this victory to all the women who continue to strive despite the odds.”
She also credited her family, especially her husband, for being her support system throughout this journey. “My husband has been my backbone. His encouragement gave me the strength to take this leap of faith,” she said with heartfelt gratitude.
The Mrs. India International Queen pageant is one of India’s most prestigious platforms for married women. Participants include doctors, entrepreneurs, artists, educators, and homemakers—women from all walks of life brought together by their drive to make a difference.
Now back in Rourkela, Manasi is already laying the groundwork for her next mission. She is collaborating with local cultural organizations to organize classical music and dance workshops, stage performances, and youth engagement programs to keep traditional arts alive among younger generations.
