The grand finale of Miss Hyderabad 2014 presented by MAX and
powered by KALAMANDIR was held at HICC Novotel in the presence of
the who's who of city celebrity circuits. A packed hall rose in unison to
applaud as Ms. Monika Thangalapalli was crowned as the Max Miss Hyderabad 2014.
Ms. Apoorva Srinivasan was crowned first runner-up and Ms. Debarati Das as
second runner up.
The glitzy affair had the finalists judged in two formats
i.e., pre-judging which had the panel of judges interacting with the
contestants on one-to-one basis followed by final judging that took place on
the stage.
Amidst excitement that was palpable and contagious all
around, the pageant began with the bevy of beauties elegantly walking down the
ramp in Indian traditional wear, done by Kalamandir. The second sequence had
the finalists strutting through the catwalk in stunning Indo Western collection
from MAX. Ten of the twenty finalists were shortlisted for the next round in
this sequence. Max Spring Summer Collection was showcased in the penultimate
round. This sequence saw the girls being presented with the subtitles adjudged
on the basis of presentation skills, communications skills, punctuality etc.
Five of the girls who made to the final round exuded complete confidence in
facing the battery of questions from the high powered jury, that followed.
Given the high quality of competition, the task of judging
indeed turned out to be tough for the jury which comprised Fashion stylist
& choreographer, Hemanth Trivedi; Fashion Designer Shravan Kumar Ramaswamy;
Miss India Earth 2013 Sobhita Dhulipala; Manasi Moghe, Miss Diva 2013 &
represented India at Miss Universe 2013 in Moscow; Vishnu Vardhan Induri, Managing Director, CCL; Vasanth Kumar,
Executive Director, Max Retail Store and Shubra Aiyappa, actress in the
upcoming Tollywood film ‘Pratinidhi’.
The evening was also laced with lots of entertainment,
Mumaith Khan’s colourful performance upped the glam quotient.
