On this episode of The Point, the focus is on Muskan Sharma and Pooja Gupta, the winner and second runner-up of the Miss Rishikesh pageant. Before the event, during a rehearsal, a man from a self-proclaimed Hindu group confronted them over their clothes, stating it was against Indian culture. A video of the women arguing with the man went viral. Subsequently, Muskan Sharma was crowned Miss Rishikesh. In this interview, they discuss standing up to moral policing and the pressures faced by young women. Muskan recounts her mother’s reaction to the incident, quoting her as saying, "He is not the one who got me those clothes. He is no one telling me what should I wear." Both women share their aspirations to compete in further pageants, including Miss Uttarakhand and Miss India. #thepoint #indiatoday #missrishikesh #muskansharma #poojagupta #viralvideo #smashpatriarchy #moralpolicing #womensrights #mydressmychoice #girlpower #rishikesh #pageant #standupforyourself #culture
