'Since I belong to a Gujjar family, there, women are not allowed to work as I am working,' she said in an interview with BollywoodMDB.

My father has always been very supportive since day one, now my entire family are supporting me,' she said. Now, with a few music videos under her belt and growing recognition, Ruchi is setting her sights even higher. 'I want to work in South movies since audiences love them, and I'd love to work in South movies,' she said. Ruchi's Modi necklace may have made headlines for its boldness, but for her, it was more than a fashion statement — it was a message. She further explained, 'Prime Minister Modi has redefined India's image across the world. I wanted to carry that pride with me, and this necklace was my tribute to his leadership. Representing Rajasthan and India at Cannes is not just a moment for me—it's a message to the world about who we are.' What do you think about this outfit?
