Pageantry[]
On 14 March 2020, Anshika entered at a major regional pageant the Miss Nepal Oceania 2020 pageant. She was Candidate #4 in the competition. Anshika was first runner-up at the pageant and was awarded the subtitle of Miss Popular Choice during the coronation night held at the Orion Function Centre in Sydney. She competed again in Miss Universe Nepal 2020 where she successfully won the first ever Miss Universe Nepal pageant. In an interview she revealed that whatever title she was given, she said that representing Nepal in such an international platform is, in a true sense, a moment of pride. During Miss Universe Nepal 2020, she won the subtitle of Miss Fierce. Her social advocacy is about her organisation "Anshika Education Welfare Foundation" which supports children in their education, because she believes that education is the only way to get ahead and make someone's life bright. She represented Nepal at Miss Universe 2020 in Hollywood, Florida but did not place much of the surprise of the public since she was one of the most favourite delegates to win the crown of Miss Universe 2020.[3]
