One of the best answers given among the contestants was from 19 years old Chuichang. Given the choice between beauty and intelligence which would you choose? was the question given to Chuichang, to which she confidently answered, “I am already beautifully made in the image of God so I would choose intelligence. In today’s world, what is needed is intelligence. Intelligence is a true beauty that a woman should possess.” ( Morung Express )

Miss Nagaland 2015 Nenghoilhing Hangsing who performed the theme song of BASN called ‘Grace and Beauty’, originally composed and written by herself left the crowd bowled over after her breathtaking performance. As Hangsing stepped down a flight of steps while performing her song, she missed a step and almost tumbled leaving the crowd aghast for a few seconds. However, Hangsing gracefully composed herself as the lyrics of her song reverberated among the audience- ‘For once just let me be a women’! ( Morung Express )
