Speaking at a press conference organised by event manager Satish Addala on Wednesday, Ms. Mandava attributed her success to her passion for creative art forms.
Of the 185 contestants who attended the auditions, 16 were short-listed for the final round of the event who then had to showcase their talents in various fields before a panel of judges.
