| MUMBAI:
English GEC Zee Cafe will telecast live the crowning of Miss World on 12 December
at 8:30 pm.
Last
year Parvathy Omanakuttan narrowly missed the crown. This year Pooja Chopra represents
the country. When
asked how does she feel about the great responsibility on her shoulders, she said,
“Everywhere the Miss World entourage travels, people specifically ask to
be introduced to Miss India, simply because of the standards set by the contestants
representing India over the years. Particularly, Aishwarya Rai is remembered,
even today almost 15 years after her victory, as the most successful Miss World
ever. In fact, the reigning Miss World Ksenia Sukhinova from Russia has expressed
great admiration for her. So very evidently, I have very big shoes to fill and
I will try my best!” So,
what does Pooja think are her odds of winning the pageant? “Oh, please don’t
ask me that. There’s no way of telling who’ll take home the crown. There
are 112 winners here. But I’ll put my best foot forward”" |
