Its raining beauty crown, literally! After Nikita Rana from Chamba, Mussoorie’s own Aayushi Yashwardhann bagged the coveted title of Miss India Ocean 2018 at Global Mr. & Miss India Asia held on the 24th November, in New Delhi
For tall and beautiful 23-year-old Aayushi, this was a dream come true. Home, on a short visit to spend time with her close-knit joint-family, she shares her happiness with us, “being a famous model has always been my dream, winning this crown has made me move closer to that goal of mine.”
Aayushi completed her schooling from Nirmala High School, Mussoorie and then went onto to do her Post Graduation in English from MPG College Mussoorie. Looking back, she tells us, “my mother Rani was always supportive of my career choice. My father, a government employee Sudesh Chand, was skeptical, but winning this crown has made him believe in me.”
Standing tall at 5.9 inches was an added advantage for Aayushi. She started doing photo shoots and bridal shoots as a Cover Girl for local magazines. In the meantime, she auditioned for a few modeling assignments along with pursuing theatre. Aayushi went on to walk the ramp at district level Fashion shows and made her presence felt.
When GIP Production came to Dehradun in September for their all India audition, Aayushi was selected. She spent a few days in Delhi where she went through rigorous grooming sessions.
A week back, Aayushi walked away with the title of Miss India Ocean 2018 after qualifying for the top twenty from hundred and seventy-two participants. The judging panel consisted of tall n dusky actress Bipasha Basu, Dr. Varun Katiyar, Rita Gangwani, Ankit Nagpal and Mrs. India Worldwide 2018, Kirti Mishra Narang.
What next? “I would like to see myself walking down the ramp at the Lakme Fashion Week and make to make it big in the world of modelling and give acting a shot too,” she signs off on that positive note.
