Ms. Namita Nayyar:
As a pageant winner how would you define “Beauty with a purpose”, also advice to girls aspiring to go in for beauty pageant
Ms. Monica Gill:
Beauty with a purpose means that you have a certain message that once amplified, using the pageant platform, can help other people within their own lives. Pageantry isn’t about what you look like. It’s about who you are as a person. On stage, it’s about the confidence and focus you bring with you, and off stage, it’s about the compassion and empathy that you have for others. As you grow in the sport, make sure you grow these aspects of yourself as well.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
As Women Fitness India talks about celebrity diets, do you follow any particular diet, Also your thoughts on size zero
Ms. Monica Gill:
I do not follow any diets and I’m strictly against the notion of ‘losing weight’. Your food determines what you look like, how you feel, and how long you live. So be careful about what you eat. The idea is to be healthy, not a certain size. I honestly believe that being a size zero is very unhealthy. It is very important to accept your body, and love it as is. It will free you.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What fitness regime do you follow? How many times do you work out in the week & your favourite abs exercises
Ms. Monica Gill:
So I usually do not follow a strict fitness regime unless I’m shooting. However, before bed, I usually do a 3 min plank and 3 sets of 50 squats. Both exercises work the full body and relax my muscles.
