During the finale, Nariswari was asked by Putri Kuswisnu Wardani the perception between doing something good and doing something right. She answered:

Good evening Indonesia. I believe that doing something good and doing something right are two different things. Doing something good is when we do something based on our intention, our desire. Helping others is something good for example, but it's not always right. However, doing something right is beyond that. It is doing something involving moral values, involving God, and last but not least when you do something that you really really believe deep inside your heart. Thank you.[25]
