For Sayali Bhagat, winning the Ponds Femina Miss India crown has been the realisation of a childhood dream. "When I was in the seventh standard, I had written an essay in which I had stated that my ambition was to become Miss India," recalls a visibly excited Sayali, who is all set to leave for China where the Miss World 2004 pageant is being held. This contest is being held in the city of Sanya.
Given India’s success rate at beauty pagents, Sayali is confident about making her mark. "I’m hopeful but living up to expectations is tough," she admits. "But it is a responsibility I have been entrusted with, and I will try my best to fulfill it. Opportunity comes once in a lifetime and one must make the best use of it."
Considering that this year’s selection process is different, Sayali feels she stands a good chance. " The top ten will be selected on the basis of popularity," she informs. "Since it’s all about congeniality, my friendly nature should help me. Besides, people can also vote so I would like it if they voted for me.
Besides all her natural charm, she has undergone an extensive grooming session ahead of the beauty pagent. While her speech and stage presence has been worked upon by Sabira Merchant, the man behind her beautiful smile is Dr Sandesh Mayekar who has done the Smile design treatment and Britessmile which includes braces treatment. Her makeup and hair training has been handled by Samantha Kochhar of New Delhi and the credit for her glowing skin goes to Dr Jamuna Pai. Nirmala Shetty has ensured that Sayali has these to-die-for flowing tresses, adding bounce and body which makes her look stunning. Her tall 5’9" frame was toned by holistic health guru Mickey Mehta at Bodyone Golden Manor, Idea.
Most of her wardrobe is designed by New Delhi-based designers. The evening gowns and swimwear by Satya Paul, the formal Indian wear by Ritu Kumar, the western casual wear by Ranna Gill, business suits by Mandira Wirk, designer bags by Kalyani Chawla and footwear by Finesse.
Her excitement was palpable as she is all set to fly Emirates Airlines, an award winning airline that will treat her like a queen. "I have loaded my guns and am all set for the kill."
