Mumbai/Bhubaneswar: A homemaker from Odisha has claimed her dominance in the national level Mrs India Pageant held in Mumbai recently.
Navdeep Kaur from Kansbahal in Sundergarh district has proved her mettle in the grand finale of Mrs India competition concluded two days ago in Mumbai. She wore the crown defying many other talents hailing from various corners of the country.
Kaur had enrolled herself in the competition through on-line mode in October last year and successfully kept climbing the ladder of success in every round of the mega event.
She expressed immense pleasure after achieving the feat. "I am very happy for winning the crown at an All India level competition. I am grateful to my family members and local residents who inspired me a lot in this regard," an elated Kaur told OTV exclusively.
Kaur, who broke the stereotype to make it to the coveted beauty pageant, said a strong determination can bring success.
"We had a conception that it is almost impossible on the part of a woman to do something great after becoming a homemaker post-marriage. But, I don't think so. If we do anything with dedication and strong determination, we can scale new heights easily," she said.
Explaining about her preparation for the pageant, Kaur said "I used to attend my regular classes followed by reading newspaper and magazines to keep updated myself regarding daily happenings. Public and social speaking on various topics were also the part of my strategy."
According to sources, as many as 61 participants from across the country had taken part in the mega event. They went through multiple rounds that allowed them to showcase their talents to an eminent panel comprising pageant director Mohini Sharma, Presider Soha Ali Khan, Charity ambassador Vivek Oberoi, Mrs World 2020 Caroline Jurie and Couture Designer Masumi Mewawalla.
