The whole feeling of being in the top 12 finalist was really nice. The journey was great and I learnt a lot from the whole event. Let‘s begin with what really made me get into this event. I was really unhappy with how my life was progressing. And every day when I came to college I used to see the big board of the last year contestants put up. And I even read about the event in the papers. So one day I said maybe I do stand a chance to be one of them. So the last minute I just contacted the organisers and asked if the entries were still open. Then he said that I could still submit the form. I was so happy on hearing that. I basically wanted to challenge myself that I can do something like that and be a part of the event. So I submitted the form without telling anyone. Then after some days I got a call saying that I was eligible to come for the auditions. But then I had to make it to the top final. I gave my audition and I gave my best. There were only a few friends of mine who knew I was taking part. And they along with my family were the ones who supported me.
A few days later I got a call saying that I am selected for the finals..... That was a moment of joy. I still kept it a secret. Until when we were called for our first photo shoot. There was one friend who helped me a lot in this event, her name is Danika. She was there for me before the event and supported me even later. After our snap appeared in the papers my friends kept asking me if I was really the one among them. And when I said yes, they didn’t believe. Sometimes I think you must try things you have never done. Who knows you may stand a chance. From that day onward my life changed a bit.
The three days I spent during the training is one of the things I will never forget. I got to know more things about modelling, the choreography, I also made many new friends and got to know the contestants better. It was tough for me at the beginning as I had little knowledge about how events like this work out. But then, by the third day of the training session. I was pretty confident in myself. And I decided to sing last minute despite the stage fright that I have. Thanks to the support from the contestants and Sir Romanch. And it did go well.. So said my friends and family members who were there to show their support for me.. The final day was the best day in my life. I would say it was my best time on stage too. I used to watch events like Miss World and Miss Universe happening on T.V. and that day I was there standing on stage and the entire crowd watching me. It was a great feeling.. I thank the organisers and all the other people who made this day “My Day”.
So in short I can say this memorable experience was great and it has given me more confidence to deal with this world. It doesn’t matter if you win or you lose what’s more important is that you have tried for it. If it’s not this time maybe you stand a chance next time.... so don’t give up and try new things..... Never underestimate your potential unless you try you will never know where you lie...............
