Marriage not end of
road, says Mrs India finalist
Ludhiana, December 13 She said she won the award for the best personality. Tall and slim, Ms Gargi is from Ludhiana and won the fourth position from among 24 contestants that participated from Ludhiana. She said the contestants had to reach Mumbai by November 14 and then they were sent to Mauritius for grooming. “That was the most funfilled working holiday we had. Though we were up in the morning and slept past midnight, we felt “bindaas”. No cooking, breakfast for the hubby and no household chores. We were shooting for Glad Rags and Zee TV as Bombay Dyeing and Zee were sponsoring the event. We swam and learnt different kind of dances like Salsa, hip hop, and jazz. With all the activity I lost 10 kg and felt more confident,” she said. On November 21, the participants returned to Mumbai to learn new things like financial matters, diction, how to manage home and career , communication skills and make up techniques. On November 30, a preliminary round was held in which the contestants were taught how to interact with the media. “I feel more confident after the competition. The five finalists had to sign a contract with Glad Rags for modelling for the magazine and Bombay Dyeing. Before marriage , I was a basketball player at the National level. The exposure that I got then and now is very different. Even my husband and my in-laws have found that my confidence has grown and my looks have improved. I have a new wardrobe now as I feel I can wear western clothes with more ease now,” she said. She found difficulty in settling down, but now feels that the contest had added a new dimension to her life. Without the cooperation of my husband, and my in- laws, I would not have participated in the contest, she added.
