She is just 19 years old but is filled with extreme endowment, enthusiasm and exquisiteness. She never gives up and has a strong faith in God and herself. Let’s hear from her what she has to express on her efforts in a short interview with isikkim.com.

Meet the 1st runner-up of the Miss Sikkim 2012 contest, Bhawana Agarwal from Gangtok.

• How does it feel to be crowned the first runner-up in “Miss Sikkim 2012”?
Bhawana: I am totally satisfied. I really feel great being crowned 1st runner up. My mother was very happy and she was with me the whole day, feels great and honoured.

• Why you think that you can’t be the winner?
Bhawana: I did some faults. It’s not that to be sad to become the first runner up and I am happy equally. I guess it was because of my walk on the ramp as earlier judges used to say to work a bit on my walk. Yes, next time I will definitely keep this thing in my mind. My reasons for taking part was not to win but to participate and make the most of it

• What was the reaction of your family when you were announced 1st runner up
Bhawana: Mom said thanks for making me proud. Everybody was congratulating my family members. I was for the first time in the reality show.

When I entered home my family and the neighbors applauded my efforts.

• Your mantra for success and what it means to you?
Bhawana: Mantra for success is God because my mom always says believe and have faith in God, things will go your way.
Success for me is overcoming the fear inside us. If we really overcome the fear inside us than, we find success. At the same time hardworking is uniformly needed but for me conquering the fear inside us is more imperative. Many people lack behind and do not open up because of this psychosis. It really puts the people down.

Bhawana: MY family, friends, home, mobile
