Bengaluru: Hundreds of school students turned up at St Francis School on Saturday to take part in the KIIT Nanhipari 2016, a pan-India beauty pageant exclusively for teens.
“Nanhipari” is a talent show for teenage girls between the age group of 13-16 years. The dearth of organizations or regulatory bodies, which could nurture and advance young talents in our region, led a group of motivated entrepreneurs to evolve the idea of hosting a talent show every year for the young females and the result was “Nanhi Pari” – a talent show for teenage girls.
This year, the KIIT Nanhipari evolved into a bigger and better event with a lot more school students participating. The students clearly stole the show with their talent. Probably, these students were motivated by Eshaani Mitra, a student from Bengaluru who had won the coveted prize-KIIT Nanhipari 2015. Eshani was crowned the prestigious KIIT Nanhipari- Little Miss India 2015 at a glittering event held in Bhubaneswar.
During the show, the students showed their style, compassion, talent, intelligence and elegance to move to the further rounds. Those chosen will participate along with the zonal winners of Ahmedabad, Jammu, Guwahati, Kolkata, Chennai, Lucknow, Patna, Bhubaneswar, Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad and then head to semi finals and finale. It was not just a ramp walk for students but they also got an exciting chance to win many other coveted titles like Miss Rapunzel – girl with most beautiful hair, Miss Photogenic – girl with best pose in photo-shoot round, Miss Selfie – Maximum likes on Facebook page, Miss Fashion- girl with best costume in both rounds, Miss Whizkid- girl with highest marks in quiz round, Miss Cinderella – girl having best personality, Miss Urvasi – girl with Best Talent, Miss Catwalk – girl with best ramp walk, Miss Monalisa – girl with most beautiful smile and Miss Active – most active girl in sports.
Richa MR, one of the participants at the pageant said that she was very happy to be a part of the event as KIIT Nanhipari was the right kind of platform for budding talents. Another student Yuktha S said KIIT Nanhipari was a bright opportunity in the right direction as it helped teens to mould their character. Jyoti Maye Parida added that KIIT Nanhipari was organised in a very nice manner and all of the kids who had participated in the auditions were happy about the arrangements.
