Amid all things glam and a day full of fervour, actor Simone Singh crowned this year’s Mrs Delhi-NCR, Group A – Rakhi Singh , Mitali Gupta, Jyoti Meena and Group – B – Rashika Matharu, Vibha Prabhakar, Pallavi Nautiyal winners at The Leela Hotel, Ambience Gurgaon.
Stage was set, and 80 contestants walked the ramp to the music of choreographer and director Shie Lobo, to celebrate womanhood in all its glory during the finale of the sixth edition of the event. A total of 5200 women from the Delhi-NCR region had turned up for the auditions. Glamour Gurgaon Director Barkha Nangia said, “Delhi-NCR resident women up to the age of 45 years and height 5 feet and above were eligible to participate in the auditions. And this year’s theme for the pageant was breast cancer, which is an alarming issue among women today.”
Apart from Simone Singh, who was recently seen in the film Maja Ma, previous Mrs Delhi-NCR winner Namrata Senani Garg, Akassk Aggarwal (Jewellery Designer), Yasmin Mistry were also on the jury panel.
The finalists adorned metallic and sequin attires by Reewaz Couture by Shweta Jain. And in the running for the title, they underwent soft communication training, grooming sessions with famous fashion designers, image consultation, and in-depth training from December 15-18. “Apart from this, photo shoots, and make-up sessions were also held. Sessions were also organised to help them understand the value of their health. I believe all these things will groom them and aid them in getting work in the industry. But, of all, the most important thing is willpower and determination that they needed to work on,” adds Nangia.
This pageant honours the essence of modern women, said Nangia, adding that, “Married women mostly have to think a lot before leaving the house. So, here the aim is to instill confidence in the contestants so that they can participate and showcase their skills to the world. This will assist them in personal development and discovering their individuality.”
It’s not necessary that all women participate just with an aim of working in the industry, sometimes the show ends up giving direction to women in their personal life as well. It’s a way to empower them personally as well as professionally.
