City-bred Karishma Randeva Mookhey bags the second runners-up spot at Gladrags Mrs India 2010 finals

Some things happen for the better and looks like an impulse decision paid off for this Mrs on the move. Former television actor and model Karishma Randeva who married Yookta Mookhey’s brother two years back is in the news once again. The vivacious Karishma,who was in the race for the title of Gladrags Mrs India 2010 has bagged the second runners-up title in the just concluded event. “It was a fun experience but I think everyone was expecting me to be crowned the winner…so it was disappointing in some ways but no regrets. More than just winning the crown,I think we were all are so lucky to have access to good trainers and grooming workshops,” speaks out Karishma,who signed up for the contest courtesy her keen in-laws! “After the results were announced I was joking with my husband that he asked me to bring home a crown but didn’t specify which one,” quips our girl who is now looking to get back to television. “Yes,I will start scouting for some good projects now,” mentioned Karishma,who hopes to make a visit back home soon too.

Interestingly,this year the pageant took a reality turn and was showcased as a TV series on NDTV Imagine. With cameras following the ladies 24/7,it was not just a contest of brains and competence in all fields but also one that monitored the Mrs in the fray for their attitude,behaviour and performances in real surroundings. “I had absolutely no clue about the changes in the contest’s format. In fact,I was so taken aback when Maureen Ma’am and her TV crew arrived home one day to announce that I had made it to the final round of 15,” shares Karishma,who’s enjoying the honeymoon period.
