A MOMENT WITH MISS NEPAL 2013
A MOMENT WITH MISS NEPAL 2013
THE
title has come with a lot of responsibilities. I am thrilled and really
excited,” says newly crowned Miss Nepal Ishani Shrestha. In a lavish
event organised at the Nepal Academy auditorium in Kamaladi, Shrestha
was chosen the winner among 18 contestants. “The moment was really
overwhelming. Only Sipora Gurung, Sumi Lama and I were left standing and
I was really nervous as both Sipora and Sumi were deserving candidates
as well,” the 21-year-old says. “But when it was announced that the
winner was contestant number 6, I couldn’t believe my ears. I started
crying with joy.” The beauty queen refers to that particular moment in
which she became Miss Nepal as an ‘amazing’ one. “I couldn’t sleep the
whole night because I was so excited,” she says. “I kept looking at the
crown; kept convincing myself that it really is mine.” While the biggest
award of the night was definitely that crown, Shrestha also won the
‘best walk award’ at the pageant, and walked away with Rs 50,000 in air
tickets from Thai Airways, an apartment as well as mobile phone, all of
which came with the Miss Nepal title.. Shrestha, who is currently
pursuing a bachelor’s degree in dentistry, says she wants to devote the
entire one year to fulfilling her responsibilities as Miss Nepal 2013.
“I have a big challenge in front of me,” she says. “Miss Nepal 2012
Shristi Shrestha has raised the bar really high, and I will work very
hard to do my best in the world beauty pageant this September. Shrestha
will be busy training for the Miss World pageant in sessions that begin
in a week’s time. “I will work hard and believe in myself. I will give a
hundred percent to this, and represent my country in such a prestigious
platform,” she says. When asked about her childhood she says she was
energetic and determined as a child. The eldest among four siblings,
Shrestha says she’s always been her ‘daddy’s darling daughter’. “My dad
is the first person I remembered after winning the title,” she says. “I
have always dreamed of being Miss Nepal. Now my dream has been truly
fulfilled.” “Even as a little girl, I used to practice and prepare for
training sessions, prejudging rounds and the main event!” she says.
“Today, when I look at the crown, I feel like the effort has finally
paid off.” A painter and a dancer, Shrestha says she hates being passive
and always makes sure to keep herself occupied. “I also like keeping
myself updated on whatever’s happening in the country and the world,”
she adds. “I start every morning with a cup of coffee and a newspaper.”
Her first morning as Miss Nepal was, however, a bit different. “Since I
couldn’t sleep properly, I had to rush for all my interviews. This
morning was very unlike my regular mornings.” A congratulatory wish from
a little girl who saw recognised her as Miss Nepal was a moment of
sorts for the beauty queen. “She came towards me and congratulated me.
It was my first experience as a public figure and I realised that life
has really changed for me.” Shrestha says that each former Miss Nepal
has something unique about her and says that she too has a similar
quality within her. “I have received the best platform possible and will
do my best to fulfil all duties that shall come in my way.”
