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.
