Girls of the Grazia Ford Supermodel of India 2009 -- fmi, 02:32:49 02/09/09 Mon(NoHost/128.241.107.102)
Anyone know if any of the girls in Supermodel India are joining FMI? I know that Neetika Singh was at the Nivea Visage round in Delhi.
How about Aeshra Patel, Vatsala Rai, Nina Sarkar and the girl who won Miss Photogenic?
Will Raashi Malhotra try out again this year?
Is Sherin Sam (the winner) under contract or can she join FMI this year?
Rito, are you in contact with any of these girls?
theres something very exotic abt her.i think with the right kind of make up,grooming and extensive work outs femina can transform her.im sure the pinoys would love her unconventional peculiar oriental looks -- rito, 13:59:07 02/04/09 Wed(NoHost/116.193.131.223)
Rahul, now I am confused as you were about this Nivea Wild Card thing. -- fmi, 02:27:13 02/03/09 Tue(NoHost/209.59.42.37)
Faith Pandey is the only direct entrant to FMI 2009 so far
After reading a few articles about this Nivea Visage Wild Card entry contest, I realised that none of the winners so far have direct entry into FMI (except Faith Pandey - not because she is a Nivea Princess, but because she won FMIS 2009). There will be only one Nivea Princess Wild Card entry into the top 25-29 of FMI 2009. What I am still confused about is whether:

Kalpana Pandit -- news to me, 02:03:12 01/28/09 Wed(NoHost/209.59.37.114)
Pardon my ignorance, but this is news to me!!!! I didn't realise that FMIW04 Laxmi Pandit had an elder sister called Kalpana Pandit who was FMIU89, but was stripped of her title coz she misrepresented her nationality!!!
"Miss India was forced to hand back her tiara hours after the ceremony amid claims that she wasn't as single as she made out. Pandit denied being married, but admitted that she may have "misrepresented" her marital status while buying an apartment in Mumbai. "In view of my incorrect statement... I surrender the Miss India World 2004 title with great personal regret," she said. Pandit's older sister Kal-pana was stripped of her Miss India-Universe crown in 1989 when it was discovered that she was a US passport holder."
She was also Miss Iowa USA 1994 under the name of Callie Pandit
Now she's apparently a doctor in the States and is hobnobbing with Hollywood elite ... or at least collecting photos of her at movie premieres.
Sorry for those who know this already as it's not news to you, but does anyone remember anything from Femina Miss India 1989?
Miss India Worldwide -- Nahita (Dissapointed), 17:03:31 01/30/09 Fri(d75-157-43-114.bchsia.telus.net/75.157.43.114)
I am very disappointed with the girls who are elceted to be in the miss india world pageant. I don't think any of them have what it takes to win and represent miss India. How can you compare these girls to previous winners such as ashwariya rai, bapasha , priyanka etc. If these are the kind of girls who can win then i can become MISS UNIVERSE!!! Anyways.. i just wanted to say that i am very disappointed.

Femina Miss India contestants steal show
Kolkata | Tuesday, Jan 27 2009 IST
The 'Pantaloons Femina Miss India East 2009' expert panel today showcased Eastern India's gorgeous beauties who made it to the elimination round.
''I am much delighted by the overwhelming response received from the first-ever Femina Miss India East pageant,'' National Director of Femina Miss India 2009, Samir Soni said while speaking on the occasion. ''Our property has experienced a massive growth over the year and we aim at building the pillar of beauty in India. Last year, we came up with the 'Femina Miss India South pageant'. Based on it's success, we mulled over creating Femina India East pageant,'' he added.
The selected contestants will further be shortlisted to compete with each other on the finale stage at the 'Pantaloons Femina Miss India East 2009' grand finale on February 17.
They will undergo a training programme
for eight days beginning February 9. A panel of experts including choreographer and contestant director Mark Robinson, Nivea skincare expert Rekha Seth, fitness expert Vikas Mandal, diction expert Sabira Merchant and diet and nutrition expert Bijoy Mukherjee will guide them on various aspects, he added.
These 30 contestants were shortlisted from the event held at Kolkata, Bhubeneshwar, Patna and Guwahati.
I heard that Shriya is being trained by Ritika Ramtri Kumar, Amrita Thapar's pageant coach. Hmmmm .... I think she needs a bit of dental work and butt/thigh toning and that's it really. Nandini could do with a nose job.
I hope Harshita gets back her toned physique from some 4 years back.

Hello i have sent Prianca a message on facebook telling her to join Femina Miss India 2009, as well as some other models, Prianca has not got back to me just yet, however i can confirm the following, Harshita Saxena will be trying out this year, Sadhna Singh will be going to the Mumbai rounds to compete again, Sujata Das (from last year) is considering to take part again, Sonia Yasmine Ali, Sharina from UK are trying for Miss India Britain 2009, Manavasi Mamgai will not be going for Femina 2009 but maybe 2010! Heena Padasani has exams clashing the same time with Femina so may be go for it! i messaged Tia Ward from UK asking her if she is going to compete in Miss India Britain she replied and said she is unalble to due to university studies, Reena Patel also from UK who was a top 5 last year will not be entering due to a recent death in the family x
I think Prianca has a very strong universal look she has sex body a striking unique look/face and an amazing hot body perfect choice for Miss Universe

What can be the IDEAL format for Miss India contest -- Marc Robinson, 22:42:21 01/09/09 Fri(66-118-190-50.static.sagonet.net/66.118.190.50)
my opinion : Go to 15 leading cities of the country and conduct auditions like indian idol. call all girls to mumbai and have select 30 girls after watching them in SS, western wear and listening them a bit. Then 30 compete in presentation show and Q/A round. Top 10 chosen who compete in the same three rounds in finals. Final results based on average scores in the three rounds..

How 'rigged' is FMI -- ?????????, 19:09:07 01/11/09 Sun(cpe-24-210-136-32.woh.res.rr.com/24.210.136.32)
After thinking about some of the postings here what do you think if this were the year 1994 and we still had access to the internet and messageboards and facebook, yadda yadda. Would you say FMI was rigged because Sushmita beat Aishwarya?
I wonder whether any of the girls from Westside Citadel Miss Pune 2008 went for the auditions in Pune? Kriti Kapoor (who got through the auditions) won a different Miss Pune 2008 pageant. She seems to be an established model in Pune. -- fmi, 00:35:14 01/11/09 Sun(NoHost/205.212.77.208)

I think the rep from Dubai for regionals has already been chosen!!! GB rep will be chosen either at the end of this month or feb! -- Keira xXx, 09:42:45 01/06/09 Tue(77-102-177-149.cable.ubr09.gill.blueyonder.co.uk/77.102.177.149)
WHEN IS MISS INDIA BRITAIN/DUBAI/OMAN/etc etc?????are any dates out??? -- Hoping to see some stunning girls atleast from britain if not from dubai n oman!!!, 09:20:26 01/06/09 Tue(NoHost/203.212.250.231)
these girls are gorgeous no doubt but why would they leave their lucrative modelling careers abroad to participate in miss india? -- rito, 15:46:48 01/05/09 Mon(NoHost/116.193.130.57)
Isn't she a popular model in India? She's GORGEOUS!!! She should definitely be sent to Miss World - she has the elegance and beauty to do extremely well (if not win). Totally agree about the rigging in Femina in recent years - it seems there's a preference towards "big" names (Sarah-Jane) , or regional beauties (Niharika Singh and Parvathy - but the latter really worked hard and kudos to her for that!). -- Oy, 12:05:00 12/31/08 Wed(modemcable146.248-80-70.mc.videotron.ca/70.80.248.146)
She is just a middle-class beauty and nothing more! But yes, she better join femina coz she is anyday better than those plain-janes Parvathy and Tanvi! -- Apsara, 09:29:50 01/01/09 Thu(NoHost/208.110.88.215)
i don't think so now she can take part in Femina miss india bec she is current queen of a pagent -- wished she joined, 12:30:38 12/31/08 Wed(NoHost/203.212.250.231)
Manasvi is SPECTACULAR!!! I've wanted her to take part in Miss India for years! I hope she will enter this year. I think she could easily be a Miss World!!! -- Manasvi Mamgai for Femina Miss India!!!!, 12:21:52 12/31/08 Wed(12.96.42.117.usa2net.net/12.96.42.117)
is this the same pageant that priyanka shah won? manasvi is very pretty. hope she tries out for femina one day.we need to have more girls like her .two more elite models i would have loved to see in miss india would be frieda pinto and anushka sharma. but i guess bollywood is where the money is nowadays .we ve lost out on so many because of the lure of films and rigging in femina -- rito, 11:20:52 12/31/08 Wed(NoHost/116.193.128.7)
She's cute, but not someone I could ever fathom sending abroad. I want the really high-quality girls to return - Farah Parvresh and Kajal Jain and obviously Harshita Saxena if she is willing to. Nupur is cute filler, thats all. I want girls who can rock MU, MW and the other shitty pageants in 2009. -- Maya, 16:30:10 12/22/08 Mon(c-68-37-221-126.hsd1.nj.comcast.net/68.37.221.126)
They should've done it for Amrita Thapar. Her nose is dire. But it really doesn't matter in the end. I had a huge hang up about Harshita's chin (winl, wink, Neil), but her exuberance and charm more than make up for it. She's fabulous to watch, and Parvathy just oozes elegance and confidence. Simran has a great body. Her face isn't perfect either, but she carries herself quite well. -- All in all quite pleased., 11:26:39 04/07/08 Mon(NoHost/160.79.176.162)
