Aditi Govitrikar Recalls Prize Disparity with Lara Dutta and Priyanka Chopra

Aditi Govitrikar, who won the Mrs World title in 2001, recently shared her experience of receiving a bouquet as a prize, while her contemporaries Lara Dutta and Priyanka Chopra received a flat and a car for their Miss Universe and Miss World titles respectively.

She recalled a party where Lara Dutta humorously pointed out the difference in their prizes.

Aditi also mentioned how inspiring it was to see Indian women achieving global recognition at the same time.

In 2000, Lara Dutta won Miss Universe, Priyanka Chopra won Miss World, and Dia Mirza won Miss Asia Pacific.

Aditi, who is a model, psychologist, physician, and actor, reflected on the significance of these achievements in breaking barriers for Indian women.
