Lopamudra expressed her happiness to one of the leading dailies of India and said, “This is definitely the best morning for me, as I have discovered I’ll be representing India at Miss United Continents 2016. It is quite an emotional moment for me because this is something I have been waiting for years. After winning Femina Miss India Goa 2013…winning so many subtitles and then again being in the top 4 in Femina Miss India 2014, It was quite a journey for me. Finally, I got the opportunity to represent my country. Honestly, there’s nothing like it. I have always been called by my name ‘Lopamudra’ but the feeling of being called “India” would bring me immense pride.”
