Canada-based Guyanese and humanitarian Sangeeta Bahadur finished as second runner-up in the Miss India Worldwide Pageant at the Royal Albert’s Palace in Edison, New Jersey last Sunday night, October 8. Though the beauty did not cop the title she was still the queen of hearts having secured for herself the Miss Congeniality Award.
This year, 27 countries confirmed participation, but only 17 solidified and 14 made it to the competition; this would have been due to the hurricane devastation of Caribbean islands along with visa issues.
In a statement, franchise holder Uma Devi Bux said the Miss India Guyana Organization was hoping for at least a placement in the top five, but Guyana did even better and secured a spot in the top three. She added that she’s contented and proud as ever of Sangeeta’s performance and hard work.
