Miss India Worldwide 2013 to grace Apsara’s ‘Evening of Dance’ at Monument Gardens in Bourda
VISITING Miss India Worldwide 2013, Nehal Bhogaita from UK, is in for a great treat this evening as the Apsara Dance Company hosts its ‘Evening of Dance’ at the Monument Gardens in Bourda, Georgetown from 20:00hrs.
At a press conference hosted in her honour at the Pegasus Hotel yesterday, Nehal Bhogaita, through her interpreter and sister, Jayeesha Bhogaita, expressed pleasure at being invited to Guyana and the Apsara event.
Nehal Bhogaita became the first deaf contestant in pageant history to win the Miss India Worldwide title when she carted off the coveted crown this year. She disclosed her desire to break the barrier that society has created and prove to the world that having a disability isn’t an obstacle, but an opportunity to affirm that nothing is impossible.
Declaring herself thankful for the ‘Guyanese experience’, she lauded the event sponsor, Fly Jamaica, for a splendid flight and services, touting that she would gladly relive the experience if given a second chance.
Gracing that press conference was our very own Miss India Guyana and Miss Guyana Universe 2013, Katherina Roshana, who, in her address, informed that she was elated to be back in Guyana after representing this country so admirably at this year’s Miss Universe Pageant.
While she dubbed her experience ‘ultimately fantastic’, Katherina explained that it also afforded her the opportunity to market Guyana to many who were not even aware of its location and rich culture.
Commenting on challenges faced at the event, Ms. Roshana noted that she was put at a disadvantage because Guyana does not prepare long in advance for such pageants, unlike other countries, which had been prepping their girls from three to six months before the pageant.
Katherina was given just two weeks to prepare for the international pageants, but noted she did her best amidst such adverse conditions. To date, Katherina has been featured in the Russian Times as one amongst the top 16 most celebrated ladies in the Miss Universe Pageant, and hers was also the face selected for exposure in a Russian magazine.
Apsara’s CEO, Chandini Rambalack, thanked the media and special invitees for their patronage, and noted that today’s event would also see the official launch of the Miss India Guyana Worldwide 2014 Pageant. The lucky young lady selected would represent Guyana in New Zealand in April 2014.
Those who, in the past, would have missed Apsara’s shows held at the National Cultural Centre will have a rare treat in the form of an opportunity to see what an Apsara dance show is all about. Apsara is known for its dazzling fusions and worldwide dances, so patrons can expect hot, sizzling and mesmerizing dances.
Tickets to the show are being retailed at only $1,000; moreover, stage front seating costs a mere $2,500. These tickets are available at N&S Mattai, Bhagwans, and the Feedshop (Kitty), Survival Supermarket, and Nanda’s Boutique.
This event comes to you with the kind compliments of Fly Jamaica Airways, Cellular Plus Store, Pegasus Hotel and Rent-a-Tent.
