Manasvi Noel is a communications student and belly dance instructor.  She has won a brand new Chevrolet Spark among other prizes.  In the talent round of the pageant, she won hearts with her dance.  In the final round, she was asked whether selfies are a sign of self-obsession.  She said selfies are a great means to show yourself to the world.  “With selfies, we tell what we have got…”, said Manasvi Noel.  Her victory was highly applauded since she was the home-town girl.
