00:00Hi, I'm Pooja Hegde for Brute.

00:09We were landed and they had lost our bags, which was something that we were, as the French

00:22would say, we had a panic attack.

00:25But my team was amazing.

00:26They ran out.

00:27They got new products, they got new hair products, makeup products.

00:31I did fittings here.

00:33I got a new gown.

00:34I got new stuff.

00:36Luckily, I had carried the real jewelry that I had brought from India in my bag.

00:42So that was with me and it was insane.

00:52I skipped breakfast.

00:53I skipped lunch because it was so busy.

00:56I didn't have the time to grab anything.

01:00I think I just munched on a little bit of like things so that I was surviving.

01:06But I had the India Pavilion opening in the morning.

01:09So that took up most of my time.

01:12And then after that, I ran.

01:14I had an interview.

01:15I finished my interview and I ran back to my room.

01:18I got ready.

01:19It took me around one and a half hours to get ready.

01:23I finished that and ran back, hit the red carpet.

01:33So the funny thing is that before I got onto the red carpet, I was so nervous because I

01:39am representing India at the end of the day, right?

01:43And I was like, you know how when you feel like your heart is in your mouth?

01:48That was me.

01:49My heart was beating really fast.

01:51But the funny thing was, as soon as I stepped on the red carpet, I was zen.

01:56I was so calm.

01:58It was the strangest thing ever.

01:59They were playing really loud music and I felt like I was on a runway.

02:03And I felt that this was a performance, a live performance.

02:10And I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

02:12I remember getting off the red carpet and going.

02:14I looked at my stylist and I'm like, that was short.

02:18And he's like, you've been there for 15 minutes.

02:20And I was like, what?

02:22So it was crazy.

02:29I'm missing food in general because in these three days, I have literally not had the time

02:34to eat a good meal.

02:36So I think when I go home, I'm just going to go to my mom and ask her to make a simple

02:40khichdi for me because that's going to feel like soul satisfying.

02:45I need soul satisfying food and khichdi is going to do that for me.

02:50So I'm going to go to my mom and ask her to make a simple khichdi for me because that's

02:53going to feel like soul satisfying food and khichdi is going to do that for me.
