Miss India 2007

Banoongi main..... Miss India!!!! Mumbai girl Sarah-Jane Dias had this dream and she has lived it. And my blog (livingdreamz.blogspot.com) is all about letting the world know about people who live their dreams. Twenty-four-year-old Sarah-Jane Dias, a Channel [V] VJ and former Miss India-Oman (1995), won the country's biggest beauty contest beating 24 other contestants as she was crowned Miss India-World at a glittering ceremony in Mumbai on Sunday evening. Puja Gupta was crowned the new Miss India-Universe and Pooja Chitgopekar Miss India-Earth at the Femina Pantaloons Miss India contest 2007.

The first runner-up, 22-year-old Puja Gupta, is an aspiring writer and her hobbies are Yoga, writing, horse riding and drawing, says her profile at the pageant’s official website. The second runner-up, 21-year-old Pooja Chitgopekar, is a medical student in New Zealand and has won the Miss India-New Zealand (2002) contest, Miss India Worldwide (2003) (first runner-up) and Miss Auckland (2002) (first runner-up).

The celebrity panel of judges included actors Sanjay Dutt, Priyanka Chopra, director Subhash Ghai and model Ujwalla Raut. And what was the question that the three beauties answered right to make it through the pageant? The five finalists at the pageant were asked, “If you had to convince a rural woman to take part in this pageant, what would you tell her?”

Wonder what these ladies answered for that..
did anyone of you watch it live yest?

hmmmmm.. hmmmmm... :)).., but this is what Sarah had to say - “I would first remind this rural woman that she has every right to the privileges if she wins”

The statement shows her grit and respect for the rural women. But how long will they be able to carry this mission? We have seen that the special Miss have told something and entered into the glam world to forget whatever they said!

Hope that Sarah will be different!
