After reaching the top five in the Miss World contest, Manushi was asked during the Question and Answer round, which profession she thought deserved the highest salary and why.
Replying to the question, Ms. Chhillar said it was not a question about a person’s salary and that a mother was worthy of the highest respect.
“I think a mother is of highest respect. I don’t think its just about cash but love and respect she gives to someone. She is the biggest inspiration in my life. Mother should get the highest respect.”
