Miss Universe Olivia Culpo finally breaks her silence regarding the controversial Taj Mahal photoshoot. The reigning beauty queen is under police investigation after her production team has been accused of violating the Heritage Act of India. The accusation followed the shooting of Culpo's commercial for a footwear brand.

The Rhode Islander did not hesitate airing her opinions about her 10-day Indian tour as well as the shoot: "The Miss Universe Organization has sponsors that they have obligations to take pictures as we travel or basically create a Web diary of our travels. I was given the direction to pose with the shoes. And honestly, 5-inch heels on a 10-inch bench in 90-degree weather - you know, I didn't want to do it. Honestly, I did at one point say out loud, 'Isn't this a little inappropriate?' but I have to do what I'm told. This is my job."

Earlier, the beauty queen admits that having the title means being available to the organization's needs: "There's a lot of push and pull and being here and being there and doing this for this person and doing this that way. Because you're a brand representative, you're representing an entire organization. There's a lot of things that don't require your input. It's not about what Olivia wants."

She adds that she feels unpleasant for being accused that she offended the country. The brunette beauty is looking forward to go back to India for charity work: "I really enjoyed everything about the visit, and there's so much that I wanted to go back and do. ... It's just kind of a shame. I hope this can be resolved in a way that would at least let me go back to the country."

The girlfriend of pop star Nick Jonas also spills the thing that she learned from the experience: "If anything, this situation has taught me that if I don't feel comfortable doing something, no matter what the situation is, I have to put my foot down, because that was really the lesson learned here."
