India, Sept. 2 -- As she represents India at Miss World 2026 in Vietnam, scheduled for September 5, Femina Miss India World 2024 Nikita Porwal says the responsibility of carrying the country's identity on a global stage still gives her "butterflies". "The idea of being called India, not your name, not your father's name, not your mother's name, but India in itself, gives me a lot of butterflies," says, Porwal, who hails from Ujjain, Madhya Pradesh. She adds, "These are the good kind of butterflies that will vanish when I'll go there and turn into a lot of motivation to represent my country in its full swing." Beyond pageantry, Porwal, who has trained in acting for six years and is set to make her Kannada debut, hopes to challenge the perception that beauty pageant winners cannot act. She looks up to Priyanka Chopra Jonas for building a career without industry backing, calling the actor's journey "commendable". "There's a very set notion that girls in Miss India, they don't know acting. They're all about beauty," Porwal says, adding, "We are not given due credit for that. So, I just promised myself that I'll break that notion." Her goal is simple: "I just want to tell stories, good stories, through a meaty, substantial character in the film."...
