Miss India Worldwide and Mrs India Guyana will be interviewed on their pageantry experience today when Pageant Zone, a programme hosted by the Miss, Mrs, Teen and Mr India Guyana Organization, makes its debut to Guyana and the rest of the world via Facebook and Instagram.
Both women held pageant titles in 2018, when American Shree Saini was crowned Miss India Worldwide and Shivanie Latchman won the Mrs India Guyana and later competed in the international pageant, where she won several awards.
Pageant Zone will be a weekly live programme where women who competed in the Miss/Mrs/Teen India Guyana or Miss India Worldwide pageants will be given a platform to share their experiences. The programme will be done live on Instagram and Facebook.
Franchise holder of the local pageant Hashim Alli will host this week’s programme. Along with their pageant experiences he intends to shed light on their lives outside the pageant arena as well.
Meanwhile, Hashim took the opportunity to mention that this year the local pageant organization has taken the initiative to add a segment for men and some 15 have already applied. However, only 5 or 6 will be selected to compete. On the other hand, a total of 60 women have applied for the Miss, Teen and Mrs pageants which will also be shortlisted.
Alli went on to add that because of the current coronavirus situation, the date for the coronation has been postponed. However, the selected contestants are expected to have virtual training with pageant coach Alicia Bess, who is responsible for all of the women’s training as well as the intelligence segment for the men. Other training for the men will be done by another coach.
The application period was closed but has now been reopened for persons wishing to compete in either of the pageant segments. Persons interested are required to submit a biography along with 2 photos of their choice to email missindiaworldwidegy@gmail.com Following a submission, their application will be acknowledged and if they are selected to participate in any of the four competitions, a registration form will be forwarded to them.
New dates for the local pageants as well as information on how they will be carried out are still pending. Miss India Worldwide is tentatively set for October 4 -10 in Mumbai.
Today’s programme will be aired at 11 am on Instagram @Miss India Worldwide Guyana and on Facebook at Miss/Mrs/Teen India Worldwide Guyana.
