Without much haste, let’s go through the expert picks for Femina Miss India 2017!

Femina Miss India 2017 Pre-Arrival Hotpicks!

10: Andhra Pradesh, Srishti Vyakaranam – Srishti has incredible stage presence and her walk is killer.  Her previous pageant experience will help her during the course of the pageant.

09: Bihar, Priyanka Kumari – TGPC’s very own Priyanka will be a front runner for Ramp walk & Best Body sub-contests. Priyanka has evolved as a person and can cause a upset during the finale.

08: Kerala, Mannat Singh – This 6 ft tall beauty is currently a favorite to win!  She has the height, face & eloquence to win the crown; the only thing that will pull her back in the contest is her body which needs toning.  If she was competing in previous batches, it wouldn’t have been a issue but looking at the quality of this batch, a tiny mistake might cost any one the crown.

07: Maharashtra, Aishwarya Devan – She has huge social media fan following and a fan base in South India.  Aishwarya being a actress in South Indian movies will be beneficial for MIO in spreading its popularity down south;  Having said that, one simply can’t deny the fact that Aishwarya like her namesake is dead drop gorgeous and will make a fab Miss India winner.

06: Mizoram, Rody Vanlalhriatpuii – She is a delight to watch and her voice is so mesmerizing!  Probably she will win Talent and Multimedia sub-contests during the course of the pageant.

05: Haryana, Manushi Chillar – This girl is just so stunning!  She is a aspiring doctor and as we all know Miss World Org just loves doctors.  India’s first Miss World was also a doctor.  Manushi is someone who with proper grooming can be a front runner for the Miss World crown.

04: Delhi, Maira Choudhary – Maira facially reminds us of Miss Universe India 2003, Nikita Anand and in terms of personality, she is like Miss England Carina Tyrrell who was top 5 at Miss World 2014.  Maira from what we have seen should loosen up and bring out her fun & bubbly side out.

03: Karnataka, Ruhika Dass – This girl has it all to win the main crown; all she needs is to find the right kind of styling and some toning.  Ruhika is being trained by Prasad Bidapa who has created many Miss India winners and with Ruhika, he might just add one more name to his list.

02: Punjab, Navpreet Kaur – She was a revelation last year. No one expected her to make it to the Top 10 but she managed a well deserved Top 5 finish which speaks about her caliber.  Trained under famous pageant guru Ritika Ramtri, she has polished all her flaws and for the moment she is locked in our Top 3.

01: Uttarakhand, Anukriti Gusain – She is the living example of good things come in small packages.  Anukriti is no stranger to pageant fans around the world. She looks like the love child of Melinda Bam & Pia Wurtzbach.  Anukriti represented India at Miss Asia Pacific World where she managed to get a runner up spot; her biggest flaw was her communication skills on which she has worked really hard on and we at TGPC feel she is the perfect choice for Fbb Colors Femina Miss India 2017 crown.
