Yukta Inderlal Mookhey is an Indian civic activist who was crowned Miss World in 1999. Yukta is a former model and actress and has worked in Bollywood as well. In the year 2000, her junior, Priyanka Chopra, brought the crown back to India, making the citizens proud. In a recent interview, Yukta spoke about how Priyanka sought her advice while preparing for the pageant. On being asked about any trait that she likes of Priyanka Chopra, Yukta immediately responded with, “nothing.”

Yukta Mookhey was recently in a conversation with Filmymantra Media and said that she doesn’t have anything to appreciate about her junior PeeCee. She said, "No. Because she is junior to me. She was the one taking advice from me. Because she was in the following year after me. I personally feel that there were things that I guided her for, and her parents were sort of wanting to talk to my parents. I don’t think she is the right person for you to ask me at this moment."

Former Miss World also hinted that PeeCee saw her as a competition. Yukta praised her senior, Juhi Chawla, and said, "I remember Juhi Chawla spoke to me after I won and came back and she spoke to me very kindly. She said you are so beautiful and so tall, you carry yourself so well, think about going international. So those are the kind of people I am talking about, who don’t look at you as competition. They don’t look at you as a threat. They look at you as someone who is a junior, or like ‘I might be able to teach them something’, and that requires a lot of greatness. Sirf Miss India ya Miss World title milne se cheezen nahi hoti (Just winning the title of Miss India or Miss World doesn’t make everything happen)."
