Dance Like a Diva

The auditions were held a few months ago in Chandigarh,Delhi,Kolkata,Bangalore and Mumbai

It was a glittering finale held in Mumbai on Thursday evening that saw 14 of the country’s prettiest ladies

put their best face and foot forward on the ramp. Bagging the coveted title of Miss Diva 2013 was Manasi Moghe,while Gurleen Grewal and Srishti Rana were declared first and second runner-up,respectively. Indore-born Moghe is currently pursuing her engineering in electronics and communication from Nagpur. Dressed in a Mandira Wirk gown,the 21-year-old was among the popular contestants who stood out for her high level of confidence.

The auditions were held a few months ago in Chandigarh,Delhi,Kolkata,Bangalore and Mumbai. The finale began with the crowning of a string of sub-contests followed by various rounds judged by a panel of celebrities from Bollywood,which included Zeenat Aman,Raveena Tandon,Malaika Arora Khan,Jacqueline Fernandez and Kunal Kapoor. Ace photographer Atul Kasbekar and former Miss Canada Sahar Biniaz were also on the jury.

“The finalists are already winners in their own rights and have demonstrated towering levels of flair in the first year of Miss Diva,” said former model Marc Robinson,who is the director of the Miss India Organization which organised the event. For someone who rates dance as her “passion”,Moghe admits it’s her positive attitude and support from her family that got her this far. The 21-year-old will now represent India at the Miss Universe pageant in Moscow on November 9. Here’s hoping she joins the league of her idols,Sushmita Sen and Lara Dutta.
