PART I

Tell us how did it all started, Miss Kerala? Did u do any modeling before that?

Yes, I have been into modeling since the age of 15 in Bahrain. Family actually gave me the idea of participating this year for the pageant.

Which were your first modeling assignment/ Beauty Pageant?

I guess my first assignment would be an ad for Chandni textiles in Bahrain,
The ad was telecast on Asianet.

Where you nervous or excited when you were on stage for Miss Kerala? Did you always have a passion towards Fashion?

Right before the competition I was a lil nervous, but once on stage there was no time to be nervous because everything got over really quickly. On stage I was just having fun.

Give us a peek into your thoughts when the final results of Miss Kerala were being announced?

After the last round I did expect atleast a top 3 finish. I was nervous but when people who dint know me in the audience were cheering me on it was a real boost.

Tell us your experience around Miss Kerala, from the time you enrolled, grooming and the show itself?

The experience was amazing. It was a lil taxing but still the girls were really friendly and fun and we had a great time.

Self confidence they say is a big part of beauty pageants, you obviously have heaps of it, where do you derive yours from?

Honestly I am an introvert and self confidence is not something which I had.
The ability to speak in front of a large crowd wasn’t my cup of tea. The grooming sessions really helped me a lot and the trainer had told me just be myself on stage and everything would just follow…That’s exactly what I did….For some reason that day I wasn’t nervous at all..The crowd was very supportive and that was one of the major reasons.

Movies? Is that a natural progression?

I don’t mind…If I do get good offers I would surely think about it.

Your immediate priorities, Since now you are a beauty queen?

Is to take some rest and spend some time with my family…and whatever Impresario asks me to do towards the cause Save the girl child …I would be doing it..

What’s your professional goal?

I don’t have any long term goals as such….my short term goal is to finish my CMA certified management accounting
