Sonal Devaraj , Miss kerala 2010 ,Second runner up , shares with us her experiences as a participant and winner of Miss Kerala 2010.
Q : What did you do before winning the Miss Kerala Pageant ?
I just got done with my BMS Management studies…
and currently pursuing my Certified management accounting(USA)
I was always into modeling and ramp
I thought miss kerala would be a great platform to express myself.
Q : Can you describe the experience of winning the title ?
Amazing and actually in shock…
Proud and happy more than anything..
Q: How do you compare your life before and after winning the crown ?
Different…..People know your name and begin to recognize you….more responsibilities
Q : Beauty or Brains. Which is more important to win this pageant ?
A combination of both…Brains are very important to win the competition
I think just being yourself on stage and being confident is good enough..
Q : What is your message to the Miss Kerala aspirants. ?
My message to them is that its an experience which none of them would ever regret…
more than winning the title the experience one gets from the training changes a person totally
i had a fear of speaking on stage though i was dancer giving a speech and talking to a large crowd wasn’t my cup of tea. But our trainer Ms.Mayuri helped us with everything..So i hope to see many more young girls taking part next year..
