A Bihari woman made it to a beauty pageant recently organized in
Haryana. Sounds exciting, doesn't it? But Richa Sinha has done more than
that: She has won the Mrs India Queen first runner-up crown keenly
contested at Crown Plaza, Gurgaon.
Born in Bihar, Richa, now 29,
did her schooling from Notre Dame Academy and intermediate in science
from Patna Women's College. Her father, a senior official of South Bihar
Power Distribution Company Ltd in Patna, is thrilled. And so is her
husband, an IIT graduate currently in South Africa, working for a French
company. In fact, it was he and one of her friends who motivated her to
participate in the pageant.
Richa, incidentally, is a also a computer engineer from MIT, Pune,
and a working woman. Incidentally, she came all the way from South Korea
to participate in the event as her husband was then deputed there. It
was when the contest began, that he was shifted to South Africa.
Incidentally, she does not intend to take up fashion or modelling as a
career. It was all by chance that she decided to participate in this
event. "I have recently cleared GMAT with a very good score and after a
few months my husband and I will move to Paris from where I will pursue
my MBA," said Richa ,
She is now all set to
represent India at the Mrs India International in 2014, which will be
either organized at Atlanta or Chicago in the US.
The pageant was
organized by Glamhunt and Glimmer International and was judged by
eminent personalities like Femina Miss India 2013 Navneet Kaur Dhillon,
Miss India Earth 2012 Vanya Mishra, president of IG International Globe
Nilanga Senanayke and Cynthia Ong, Mrs Asia All Nations 2013.
Richa also performed a dance to the accompaniment of modern Hindi film
number, a medley, in the opening ceremony. The contest this year had a
nail-biting finish, in which a medico, Manpreet Kaur, emerged the
winner, while a UP-based woman, Rubi Yadav, was the second runner-up.
