“The international competition was different and bit sad too. The discrimination in black and white was visible, which was hurtful,” Varsha said. She expressed the joy of being able to meet so many hearing impaired people coming from various countries.
“Their culture, sign language and costumes were different and beautiful, we must enjoy the diversity,” Varsha said. She missed Indian food and struggled to deal with international cuisines.
Varsha misses her dad the most during such feats as it was his dream to see his daughter become a supermodel. “I express thanks to Rajkumar Punjabi and Meetu Kohli for their support along with my dear mother,” she said.
