Beauty queen is in love with Delhi
When most girls her age are fantasising about landing their dream guy or being the showstopper at college dos, Urvashi Rautela, 18, is sitting pretty with the title of I Am She Miss India Universe 2012 crown which she won recently. “The winning moment was something more than just a childhood dream,” says the pageant winner, who is currently pursuing English (Hons) from Delhi University.
“I’ve always wanted to bring back the crown to my country and now I have the opportunity to do it,” says Urvashi, who beat 1,800 beauties to win the crown.
Talking about her love for Delhi, Urvashi says, “I simply love Delhi. I started my modelling career from here. Delhi is a fashionable capital. Living here has definitely helped me groom my personality.”
She says, “Though I have to be diet-conscious, I simply can’t resist chaat papdi and paranthas of Paranthe Wali Gali in Chandni Chowk.”
The 5’9’’ beauty is also a national-level basketball player and has competed in long jump, high jump, volleyball and kho kho at the district-level.
What was her strategy to win the title? “I have been preparing myself since the age of 15 when I took up modelling. Apart from being ‘beauty with brains’, one also needs to be a global citizen who respects other cultures and races.”
Sharing about her bond with mentor Sushmita Sen, Urvashi says, “Sushmita is not just a mentor. She is almost like a mother to me. Her grooming sessions are very useful to us.”
So, is she planning to step into Bollywood? “Currently, my focus is on winning the Miss Universe title. I have a lot of offers from Bollywood and South, but I have put them on hold,” she says.
