===Femina Miss India===

Mookhey proceeded to the succeeding round, where all her fellow Top 5 delegates were asked the same question - “In the context of the recent controversy, if you were [[Chelsea Clinton]], what is the single most important advice, you as a daughter would you give to your parents [[Bill Clinton]] and [[Hillary Clinton]], and why?”, to which she stated:
{{blockquote|text=''“If I was Chelsea Clinton, I would tell my parents that in the values that you have taught me, I still stand by you no matter what. And I hope we can set an example for the rest of the world to see what family values and ethics are all about. Thank you”''<ref name="FMI_1999"/>}}
