Self confidence, positive thinking, physical fitness, passion and purpose, ability to face challenges and height (for north easterners) are the major factor according to Rusie if one wishes to participate in a beauty pageant.

Rusie believes that Manipur will be included in the Fashion map of the world if the government and its related authorities gives some extra effort in fashion and model industry while the models will also able to sustain themselves with this profession. Otherwise those who take up modeling will have to find an alternate profession for livelihood.

Unlike other models, she has no interest in films but she wants to establish a modeling agency in Manipur where she can lend her hand to the young and talented youths of the state so as to make them walk in the fashion and model world at national and international level.

Message to the society: One needs affection and caring in every field, maintain peace and brotherhood, create a developed and peaceful society, no back-biting.
