World Class Beauty Queens: Please tell us about yourself. My name is Smriti Goyal. I am an entrepreneur, dancer, model, and actor. I am the director of a dance company in Melbourne Australia. Born in India and now moved to Australia for better life. I am a domestic violence survivor. I am very strong women by nature.

World Class Beauty Queens: What does women Empowerment means to you?
-Women Empowerment is to know your rights, to be able to follow your dreams without any hurdles.

Being a domestic violence survivor I can easily relate with women who go through this issue on day to day life. It's hard to deal with it by yourself. We all need to stand up together for them so that they can stand on their feet by their own.

The best pageant walk should be full of confidence, poise and grace. You need to be very careful on picking up the outfits. It should not be uncomfortable at all when you walking on the ramp.

Always remember to choose the outfit which makes you happy.
