The Tiara Pageant and Model Training Studio

Winner takes It All!

Twenty one year old Ankita Mohapatra is very thrilled to have won the Gladrags Megamodel 2009 title. Originally from Bhuvaneshwar, Ankita was trained in Pune by Pageant Coach Ritika Ramtri Kumar of The Tiara Pageant Training Studio. Winning the title was a wonderful experience for this talented girl, who has her head on her shoulders. After completing her Btech in Electronics and Telecommunication engineering Ankita decided to give pageantry a shot. And there she was at the Gladrags audition and before she knew it she was among the final 22. What followed next was victory. Besides winning the main Gladrags Megamodel title, Ankita also won the Gitanjali Most Beautiful subtitle

A trained classical dancing Ankita has learnt Oddissi. Tennis and swimming are her hobbies and she loves to nibble on the steamed momos you get in Koregaon Park. Ankita especially liked her time in Pune while she was training at The Tiara. “I had a good time shopping as well”, she giggles.

What does she think made her win? “Discipline and my inner belief and confidence helped me win. My pageant training helped in making me more disciplined and also added to my overall confidence’, Ankita says. Her future plans include going in for further studies. “I also aim to carve a niche for myself in tinsel town”, she smiles. We are sure Bollywood is calling.
