Actor Neha Dhupia shared a series of pictures and penned down a note in which she chronicled her success story in these years. On Monday, 'Julie' actor shared the pictures from her crowning ceremony at Miss India 2022. 


She wrote, "20 years that went by in a flash ... but if I shut my eyes and think, all I have is gratitude in my heart. I did nt think that it would be possible to wear this crown on stage again and relive one of the most precious moments of my life with my most precious people."


"20 years later I stood taller, stronger, more experienced and a few dress sizes bigger :) ... but most importantly I stood for every little girl who dares to dream and work hard towards it, for every daughter who wants nothing more than to make her parents proud, for every partner who basis their relationship on love and equality and for every mother who wants to live her dream and wants nothing more than to have her children by her side as she does that ... sometimes in life even if we don't have a crown ... we all have our sparkle... #shineon ... Love Miss India 2002 -2022," she added.
