Running in its 20th year, Max Miss Bangalore 2013 is set to inspire many beautiful and talented girls aspiring to make headway into the glam world. The Miss Bangalore beauty pageant is getting a notch bigger with every passing year. With over 500 girls making a beeline for the auditions at Le Meridien today, it only goes to show the event’s impressive caliber that has assisted many fashion careers down the past two decades.
Feroz Khan of Dream Merchants, who started Max Miss Bangalore and has seen many runways sizzling shares, “Max Miss Bangalore is in its 12th edition and this year we will be selecting 16 girls out of over 500 that have auditioned today. We have fashion choreographer Sreedhar who will be assisting us in picking girls with the X-factor and we will be announcing the results tomorrow. The age group of these girls is 16 to 22. Most of them are college students, while some are even working with MNCs in the city. The criterion for selection is the overall confidence, height, figure and also general awareness and speaking skills which will be judged at the question round. We have categories like Miss Catwalk, Miss Hair, Miss Skin, Miss Figure, Miss Beautiful Eyes and Miss Photogenic.”
Adds, Sajad Mahajan, partner Dream Merchants and Max Miss Bangalore, “Many girls who used the Miss Bangalore pageant as their launch pad over the years have made exciting careers in celluloid, modelling, television and advertising. We can also boast of some of the previous Miss Bangalore Queens like Ruchita Prasad who became a Kannada and Tamil movie star and Sara Corner who was crowned Miss India. They also walk the ramp for the Bangalore Fashion Week that has now gone international.”
Nicole Padival, who was crowned Miss Bangalore last year is happy to be getting a lot of work. “It’s nice to get the respect and recognition from the fashion industry and modelling assighments,” says Nicole.
