Fashion entrepreneur Sharada Narayanan became the first Indian contestant to win Mrs Classique Globe Choice of the People title, with Mrs India Globe Classique 2017 Veena Jain as her mentor

- MAHIMA NAGARAJU

When fashion entrepreneur Sharada Narayanan stood on stage with her counterparts from across the world, waiting with sheer anticipation and racing hearts for the announcement of Mrs Classique Globe Choice of the People, she took a moment to process that her name had been called out.

"I was in a complete shock. I don't think I reacted the way everybody usually does—the awe, the crying or hands thrown up in the air," she recalls. While winning the title with 50 other contestants competing for it might have been a surprise for Narayanan, her mentor, Veena Jain, the winner of Mrs India Globe Classique 2017, had complete confidence.

"When we started from Bengaluru, I had a feeling that we were going to make it this year. It may have been a surprise for Sharada, but for me, I was very confident that she was going to come out with the title—her confidence and elegance made me believe so. I'm especially proud because this is the first time an Indian delegate has won such an honour," says Jain.
