ndian beauty queens are known for their intelligence, wits and charms. How do they get to be so intelligent? I think it’s in their genes. It’s in their genes to learn, to know and to speak. They enter beauty pageants not to win solely by their beauty alone but also by their wits and intelligence. Indian beauty queens are smart enough to cover up their flaws and let something else shine for them while other delegates would go under the knife to fix their flaws externally. One of the reason for them being so eloquent is that they read a lot about the world affairs through newspaper, journal, magazines, General Knowledge books and they read about their respective pageant host country. Would you believe it? If you look at the 90s Indian beauty queen at international platform, that’s a testimony to it. That doesn’t mean today beauty queens are less intelligent. Many of Miss India have said they do it as a part of their self training. In any pageant, the evening gown and the question and answer round are very exciting to watch. The former shows the grace and elegance side of the contestants the latter shows the wit, humour and shrewd side of the contestants. And in just a matter of minute, the way she speaks changes a beauty queens life. So here are the interviews of Miss India who have managed to get into the top 10 in the international pageants and be there to speak and charm everyone who are watching them. But before that next time they should be asked, “Why is India so intelligent?” like it is asked in Miss World, “Why do you want to be Miss World?”

Nicholas Siscily, “ If you could charm to speak to the young people of the world, what would you tell them?”
Namrata: “I would tell them that they should work hard and with determination and hard work they are sure to succeed. I would also tell them to have patience in trial of tribulation in life. They should work towards achieving their goals.”
SUSHMITA SEN – MISS UNIVERSE 1994
Florence LaRue – “If you have time and money to embark upon a great adventure, what would it be? Answer, “Well, I think adventure is something I enjoy from within me and children are the little thing that can bring adventure in your life. And If I have the time and money, I would do something, I wouldn’t say I would do something for the children who are downtrodden, any child with whom I can go out and have fun.”
AISHWARYA RAI – MISS WORLD 1994

In what I believe in, tonight I would like to draw an inspiration from the once and great poetic W B Yeats’s quotes ‘in dream begins responsibility’ For me this title is my dream and the responsibility it brings will cherish and in some ways help the dreams of others.”
LARA DUTTA – MISS UNIVERSE 2000
The Final question “Right now there’s a protest that had been staged in outside the stadium posing pageants as an affront to women. Convince them that they are wrong.”
Lara impressed the judges with her answered, “Pageants like Miss Universe give us young women a platform to foray in the fields that we want to and forge ahead, be it entrepreneurship, be it the armed forces, be it politics.” And added, “It gives us a platform to voice our choices and opinions and it makes us strong and independent that we are today.”
