Mr. Chander Mohan Sethi, Senior Vice President, South East Asia, Reckitt Benckiser said, "Veet stands for Beauty and Confidence! We at Veet believe that every woman radiates beauty from within. The contest today is a platform for the girl next door to discover and highlight the Diva within her. Confidence is one defining quality of a Diva.

Veet through the 'VEET Be The Diva' contest today applauded the beauty and confidence in the girl next door. A Diva is not necessarily a model or an actress; Diva, is the hidden beauty in every woman, every girl waiting to be enhanced and recognised."
