&lt;br /&gt;
==Pageantry==&lt;br /&gt;
Hayden&amp;#039;s journey in pageantry began at the age of 23, when a friend recommended her to enter [[Femina Miss India]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.timesnownews.com/amp/entertainment/news/people/article/these-photos-prove-that-miss-world-1997-diana-hayden-is-no-less-beautiful-than-aishwarya-rai/221721|title=These photos prove that Miss World 1997 Diana Hayden is no less beautiful than Aishwarya Rai|publisher=Zoom TV|date=27 April 2018}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; She was then shortlisted for the Femina Miss India 1997 contest.

&lt;br /&gt;
During the question and answer segment of the competition, Hayden responded to the question - “Why do you want to become Miss World?”, by stating: &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;“I draw inspiration from a famous writer and poet, [[William Butler Yeats]], who once wrote - &amp;#039;With Dreams Begin Responsibility.&amp;#039; Well for me, this title is that dream and the responsibility it brings, I cherish that in a small way I could make a difference and help the dreams of others.
