Official Interview With Miss India Earth 2012 - Prachi Mishra

Official Interview With Miss INDIA

First, Miss India 2012 and now, Miss Earth 2012...quite a leap in short time. How has the experience been so far?

What does the Miss Earth title mean to you?

How has been the preparation so far?
So fat, it has been really good and tough! For fitness, I go for running every evening for an hour. For my talent round, I practise Kathak for 3 hours every day. In terms of diet, I follow the chart suggested by my dietician. To follow a specific diet, one has to sacrifice a lot on taste but then the results are brilliant. My body is in shape, my skin glows more and I feel charged up and filled with positive energy.

You'll be performing classical Kathak dance during the talent round at the pageant and you're taking professional classes for that. Have you trained in classical dance earlier as well?
I have been trained in Bharatnatyam for 4 years and Kathak for one year. I am really working hard for my talent round because I want to leave an impact on the audience in Manila. I want them to scream 'Once More' for me!

Nicole Faria was the first Indian woman to win Miss Earth in 2010. How do you plan to clinch the title once again for India?
By giving my 100 per cent! Nicole has an amazing personality, and she proved herself. Now it's my turn to give my best and bring back the crown. I don't have a master plan in mind and for me it's not at all about winning or losing. It's about how much effort I am putting in at the end of the day. I believe in karma, God is with me, all my well wishers want me to win and the most important thing is that I know I will win! May god bless me :-)

Your co-winners, Vanya Mishra and Rochelle Maria Rao, recently got back from their respective pageants. Has their experience helped you prepare better for your pageant?
Undoubtedly yes! Their experience has been of great help. They know my strengths and weaknesses, and are able to guide me accordingly. Especially Rochelle, she is like a mother when it comes to guiding some one. She keeps telling me what to do and what not to do. I feel really happy and blessed to have such sweet and caring Co-Miss Indias.

What all sub-titles are you aiming to win?
Miss Photogenic, Miss Eco Beauty, Miss Congeniality and best performance in talent round! It might sound a little greedy but I have a feeling that I'll actually get these subtitles.

Who are you wearing in the finale round?
I am wearing a gown designed by Rakesh Agarwal.

What do you think sets you apart from the other girls in the competition?
I never compare myself with others, especially during pageants because it brings in negative feelings such as insecurity, lack of confidence. It's best to be yourself, believe in yourself and work hard. Hard work never goes waste! The only thought I have during my pageant days is that I'm never going to get these days back so I should enjoy every bit of it. I believe this attitude sets me apart from the other girls.

How confident are you of winning the Miss Earth 2012 title?
I am very confident because I believe in the secret! All I know is that what I think is what I reflect. So, I am completely positive about my pageant. I have worked hard and given my 100 per cent preparing for it and have lots of best wishes with me. With all this and by the grace of God I will win! Amen.

Any plans to move to Bollywood after Miss Earth?
Right now the only thing I can think of is the Miss Earth crown and hopefully this victory will bring many more opportunities. So, I am waiting to explore those opportunities and then decide and choose the best among them.

Your favourite Bollywood actor?
Sharing screen with Mr Amitabh Bachchan will be 'a dream come true' for me! I would love to be a part of his movie. I'd feel blessed to share the screen with the legendary actor.

What do you wish to take back from your experience in Manila?
I wish to take back a bunch of memories. Meeting other national winners representing different countries and cultures, knowing more about them and sharing my own experiences with them, I am looking forward to all of that.

Any closing thoughts or message to your fans?
