Q. Which is your favourite gadget? Shriya: The iPhone is my favourite gadget amongst all my gadgets. I wonder how the small gadget can keep you connected to all of the people in the world and keep you updated all of the time. I just go restless if I do not see my mobile for a long time. Q. What do you think, How's the fashion industry? Shriya: Yeah, I, many times get to answer this question and I wonder why people see negative side only? Like this type of thinking about the particular industry is obvious when you get to listen to some devastating news from it but I always think if you are strong enough to stick to your motive and your ethics and principles then nothing, no power can take you down. It is good enough if you are strong enough to survive with every odds, probably you might possibly be not even facing it. But, it is pretty good and glamorous. Q. Favourite place on the earth you would love to go and live for the rest of your life and why? Shriya: "I'm a wanderer! And I do not want to settle at some place. I want to keep moving to new and different places. But my favourite destination includes Santorini, Greece, Bali, Paris and NYC !!!" Q. What are you expecting from the life ahead? Shriya: It always amazes me what do those people do after they achieve what they have thought of doing and that seems an abrupt end to me. So I have decided for myself to not to have any plan. Like I'm just sure that I wanna do something in the sector of art. As it makes you express yourself better in every form you want. I have learnt an Indian Classical dance form, known as Kathak for few exams when I was young. And I feel any form of art helps make a better person of you. You get ways to express yourself better when it comes to the various forms of art. So I wanna wind my whole life around the art to make 'me' inside me alive! Q. If not Miss Teen Universe, India, then what would you have become? Shriya: As I told you, there has been never anything else than this, since I was a small kid to even know the meaning of the title. So it always has been this and this only! And of which I regret not a single moment. APR 18 58
