Govitrikar has been appointed as the National Director for Mrs World UAE 2025 and 2026, she revealed in a heartfelt post on Monday.

"Life has a beautiful way of coming full circle," she said as she shared the letter she received from the Mrs World organisers. The letter reads: "We are writing you to award you the National Director License for UAE for 2025 and 2026. Our rules maintain we will not accept any delegate with the above title at the Mrs World Pageant unless it is the winner of your competition.
