Tanishq Unveils Miss India 2007 Crowns
(March 21, '07, 11:07 IDEX Online Staff Reporter)



The crowns for the 2007 Femina Miss India Contest were unveiled today by Tanishq, one of India’s best known jewelry brands. The company calls the jewelry line Zoya.

According to the company, the 450 gram crowns equipped with spring mechanisms to fit to any head shape or size, are decorated with trillion, baguette, round brilliant, princess, and pear cut diamonds, as well as specially cut colored crystals.

“We believe our association is testimony to our continued leadership in the market as being the trendsetters in jewelry design and styling,” said Tanishq COO C. K. Venkatraman.

Tanishq, part of the Tata conglomerate, operates 88 boutiques in 64 Indian cities, making it the country’s largest retail jewelry chain.

Kiran Thappar

The first chick you mentioned is 5'10" tall. She must have something that she got selected for the finals. Btw what is your height shorty?


Only a picture can't tell about the whole essence of someone's personality. You should refrain from posting bad and irresponsible comments in forums of other countries. If you think that having a white complexion can make a person more attractive then your grossly mistaken. Your comment was uncalled for.

I think she only gave her opinion, and tbh probably only judged on the pics provided so I probably wouldn't get too upset. If I'm honest, in those pics most of the girls don't look particularly attractive to me either, though I'm sure in other pics or situations they look far better.

I can't help it if I only find 6 of them to look pretty. It has nothing to do with their color. Where did I ever mention anything about their skin color? It's probably you who think that the light ones all look attractive. People have their prefrence of what they think is beautiful or not. Sure, all of them have wonder/beautful personalities, but not all of them are physically attractive to me.

There's no need to be so defensive.

Nicole D'Silva!

damn!

That's a better number than most other nation's pageants including Miss Venezuela and Miss USA.

She reminds me of Norah Jones..shy, yet somewhat sensual looking.

Looks can be deceiving.

Are you wearing colored contacts? Or it just the lighting in your sig?

Anyways to me at least 14 are attractive.

^She's from Nagaland.....I think she's attractive.....

She don't really look Indian,

caz her eyes look more oriental than Indian.
she looks like Filipino, Korean, Japanese etc

or probably nepali

She is beautiful though.
probably one of the best there




she looks abit like a Manichean at a shop window
but she is still cute

but i wonder what she look like without so much makeup

Out of 1-5
1 to me looks best

Out of 6-10
6

From 11-15
15

16-20
16

21-15
23

Besides Akunuo these ones are attractive to me

Diksha Pathak

Stunning Esha GUpta

^got them racks...

Gauri is forgettable

Kiran Thapar is beautiful

No. 2 is beautiful and very different from the rest of the contestants, even her name. She looks like a Nepali with Mongoloid feature. It would be interesting if she were to be chosen to represent India ( a very un-Indian looking girl ).
No. 11 is also very beautiful and also Esha.

Mrinalini Tyagi is cute

DURRRRRR....ME SO DUMB.

Nicole D'Silva






Too bad the woman you posted is half sicilian(definite arab blood and half native american.

Quite to the contrary, she looks very much Indian. There is no definitive "Indian" look. A person from Nagaland is just as Indian as a person from Punjab.

Akunuo Kezhie is native to Nagaland in Northeast India. That's how Nagas usually look. It's just a big misconception that all Indians look a certain way. "Indian" is a just nationality, much like "American".

I thought Manicheanism is a religion? What do you mean by looking Manichean?

I like numbers 6 and 16. I would have never guessed number 4 to be Indian. But she's pretty sexy too. I wonder if that's her true eye color though.

i think she means mannequin.



Number 4 Esha Gupta? She has beautiful brown eyes.

Her eyes look brown to me. Isn't it normal for most Asians to have brown eyes?

This girl here, number 6, is definitely going to win. SHE'S BEAUTIFUL. I think she's on the same level as Aish, to be honest. So very beautiful facial features. I like her hair and poses too.







Ahhh! Sorry guys, I was referring to number 2 actually, made a mistake. She doesn't look Indian at all, and I was wondering if her true eye color is actually green (they look green in those pics).

edit




thats odd
i think that girl looks more indian than the other oriental looking girl i mention

this girl in this pic looks completely indian to me

^that's cuz she is indian. just because she has green eyes doesn't make her un-indian and in case you are thinking shes not indian bc of her name then the south indians from GOA who converted to christianity changed their names.

indian women r gorgeous but i feel miss punjabi should have enter Femina Miss India because she has a high chance of winning it !!!

There is no specific "Indian look". That's just a big misconception. That would be like saying all Americans are white people. "Indian" is a nationality like "American", not an ethnicity. Although a majority of Indians are usually brown with dark eyes and hair and "Caucasoid" features, there are plenty of people in India with "East Asian" or "African" features, and plenty with light skin and light eyes, and even a few Indian tribes with blonde hair. India is probably one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the world, comparable to America.

Now I am happy. I made this thread just yesterday and it had already crossed two pages thats amazing. The main event is on April 8, more than a week to go. Anyone of these girls can win. My favourites keep changing, because I like them all.

Another picture of contestant# 1, Akansha Singh.
Age: 25 yrs
Height: 5’10’’
Stats: 33.5-27-37

She has big eyes. Looks ok to me.

Akuonuo, contestant# 2. I want her to win this title. Personally I am a big admirer of north-eastern girls.



From every angle she is a winner. She should be atleast in the top three.

I think I might want Akunuo to win, just to see non-Desis (and some ignorant Desis) arguing over whether she "looks Indian".

Yamini Sehgal







Veena Parshuram

SHipra Malik. SHe is from Ghaziabad, UP.

She got huge feet

^ You took measurement of her feet? Once she went to buy a pair of shoe for herself, you were the salesperson at that shop. lolz

Contestant# 3, Diksha Pathak. She is very beautiful. I love her smile.
Age: 23 years
Height: 5’7’’
Stats: 32-25-35
A full time model, Diksha has already been a beauty queen. She was the 1st runners up in the Miss North India contest in 2006. An English (hons) graduate from Delhi University, Diksha took up modeling as a career. She has already featured in print ads for Microsoft, the car launch of Zen Estillo and Newlook Laser clinic and has also walked the ramp for Rashmi Virmani, Varun Bhal, Keune and Avon.

No. But that doesn't make me blind. You can see her feet in that last picture.

Good pics ndnboi and Vaman, the girls look much better in them than they did in the original pics.



As mentioned before many Indians look like that (it's not the stereotypical Indian look though) especially in East and North East India. Also many Indians can have non-brown eyes, so I wouldn't be too shocked if that's her real eye colour

^ Thanks bro.

Contestant# 04, Esha Gupta. She has got the looks. One of the favourites to win.
Age: 21 years
Height: 5'7.3"
Stats: 32-25-34.5
A mass communication student, Esha has been pursuing modeling for the last two and half years. A trained Kathak dancer, she also enjoys jazz dancing and swimming.

the girls are looking much much better now than in the intro pics... It would be nice if a chinese looking indian wins the miss india...

arr these the only pics.. ??? post more pics soon
There are only 2 south indians and seems be like one bengali..!!! how does this contest work... is t chosen state wise or random..
