Let’s put our hands together for India’s first miss India World wide, Shagun Sarabhai.She won the crown at Johannesburg on the 23rd OF FEB 2008 in the 17th year of the Pageant.
ANOTHER FEATHER IN OUR CAP!
Shagun Sarabhai, a 20-year-old Mumbai homeopathy student who was crowned Miss India Worldwide at a gala banquet in Johannesburg in the early hours of Sunday morning. shagun had beat contestants from 17 other countries, the panel of judges rated their talent, dress sense in Eastern and Western wear, and answers to questions. Miss India Canada, Uppeka Jain, 24, was the first princes and SabihaHussain, 21, from the host country, was crowned second princess.
Shagun was very excited and said, “If offers come my way from Bollywood, I’m going to accept them, yes, but I’m also studying medicine and I’ll definitely try to blend both,” the winner said.
“It was a little harder for me because I arrived a bit later, but I’ve always said that hard work pays off and this has proved true,” said Sarabhai, whose only nervous moment on stage was when the top three were about to be announced from a shortlist of ten finalists.
“The question and answer round is when you’re so nervous because you’re faced with so much uncertainty about what question the judges are going to throw at you and what sort of answer you’re expected to give. The other parts I was quite confident about.”
Crying uncontrollably for the first few minutes after being named the winner, the new Miss India Worldwide quickly regained her composure to pose for the large media contingent as her parents who had flown in specially to support her waited in the wings.
Mum Bella, a psychologist, and dad Pratesh, a homeopath were overjoyed at their daughter’s success.
Sarabhai will be taking home with her a package of prizes that includes $5,000 in cash, gold and diamond jewellery, exclusive garments and a laptop computer.
