Contestant number 7: Heena Shrestha … mmm Heena is this petite sweet girls again who clearly always wanted to be a part of miss Nepal. I am happy for her to be living her dream but infront of the 5.9” and 5.11” contestants she could be scoring low on the physical beauty aspect. Ouch… beauty pageants – cruel as much as it is beautiful eh!

Contestant number 8: Prasansa Rana is participating in Miss Nepal for the second time. After having only made it to the top 10 round last year this would be her second innings in the contest and I was amazed to see that kind of determination. Prasansa for me was one of the most genuine contestants out there, she spoke her mind and she was being herself and I didn’t even have to tell her to be one.

Contestant number 9: Neelam Chand. Before I went to meet the girls it was names like Shristi Shrestha or nagma shrestha came to forefront as they had already been in the media. But I was pleasantly surprised and delighted to meet miss chand. For starters, she is THEEEE gorgeous contestant in this batch just so effortlessly poised and beautiful. I wish her all the luck.

Contestant number 10: Dilacha GC. Oh this girl from Pokhara is a powerhouse of a speaker. She is so well versed in Nepali and the points she puts across are so strong, I loved her attitude to life, living and Miss Nepal in general. My heart goes out to this brave, confident chica from Pokhara.

Contestant number 11: Rashmita Maharjan has supposedly dropped out of the contest citing health reasons.
Contestant number 12: Anjali Pradhanang is one girl I met at Miss Teen pageant 2010 when I was hosting it. She is the type of girl who is quite an underdog but might surprise you with her sharp answers and timely intellect. In a few minutes of interactions I did manage to give her some pointers as to how to answer as in not be too sugarcoated but answer that should basically stand out, I hope she listens to me.

Contestant number 13: Pronika Sharma was sitting beside Sonam Singh during the judging round so in a way Sonam did overshadow her. I can only hope that she will however put on a fierce game on the finale and not let anybody else overpower her charisma this time. My luck to the sweet, petite contestant number 13.

Contestant number 14 Akesha Bista: Is definitely one of the pretty looking girls in the batch and I liked the way she expressed herself. She seemed a little distracted when I was asking her questions perhaps because of the many people moving about in the hall at that time, but still, I believe that if this girl gives her 100% she really does have the potential to win it all. Only if she is determined to strive for excellence that is because other contestants are equally tough.

Contestant number 15 Sabita Manandhar: Sabita is another “under the spell of miss nepal” sort of a girl, who has so much to say but tends to go a little direction less with what she is saying. I understand that she cannot express her happiness for all the experiences Miss Nepal is giving her and if she can only contain her excitement for it all, she makes up for a quality contestant.

Contestant number 16 Alisha Kunwar: Alisha Kunwar also a Miss Teen pageant graduate is another girl on the forefront for her height, beauty and confidence. She has always been this polite and a sweet-natured girl and I wish her all the best.

Contestant number 17 Indira Rai: Indira is a powerhouse of talent. She sang for me during our session and it was just beautiful. She is definitely in the contest for the experience and to learn as much as she can and I respect her for that and wish her the best.

Bottom Line: And well the bottom line is Miss Nepal pageants like any other pageants in the world is very unpredictable. So I wish all the luck and love to all those who are participating this year. As I always say, “agreeing to be a part of a competition, already makes one a winner”- regardless of who wears the crown, every girl out there is a winner in her own right.
Miss Nepal airs live on NTV , this MAY 6, 2012 from the premises of Hotel Annapurna 8:30 PM onwards. I hope to give you a detailed account of the show in my next blogpost and tell you if in fact the standard of Miss Nepal has hiked up or come down. With time, tell-all-tales will be revealed.
Thanks for reading folks. Until later.
