The inaugural Mr, Miss & Mrs India (The Exotic World) pageant crowned their first winners at the grand final held at Palm Green Hotel and Resorts in New Delhi, India on July 31, 2019.
Businessman Shammi Singh Rajput, 24, was crowned as Mr India The Exotic World 2019, student Amarjeet Kaur, 22, was Miss India The Exotic World 2019 and businesswoman Priya, 37, was Mrs India The Exotic World 2019.
The results were determined by a panel of three judges, one of whom was a Malaysian appointed as an international judge and she is Ammetta Malhotra, the Malaysian fashion and fitness model and beauty queen.
Ammetta won second runner-up in Mrs Classic Universe 2019 international pageant held at Sofia, Bulgaria on Jan 21 this year. She’s certainly made her indelible mark as international guest judge in Mr, Miss & Mrs India The Exotic World pageant.
“It was an honour for me to be able to participate as a judge in the Mr, Miss & Mrs India The Exotic World 2019 pageant. I was appointed head judge. I feel I was chosen because I have proven myself in the international fields. I challenge myself in many ways. I have a very good social media presence and I think they felt my experience would make an excellent contribution and would be an inspiration to these young contestants of which a lot were in their teens,” said Ammetta to Citizen Journalists Malaysia (CJMY) on her return home from India.
Ammetta said the finalists were judged on their walk, poise, natural beauty, stage presence and ability to answer challenging questions during the Q&A round.
“This was my very first time judging a pageant. It’s never easy because it’s a subjective judgement. One person’s idea of beauty may not be another person’s idea. A lot of time we judge beauty based on what we are used to according to our own culture and race.
“I look for a contestant who is natural, genuine, open, passionate, intelligent and who is confident yet humble.
“I had so much fun. This was one of the best experiences of my life and I truly enjoyed the amazing Indian hospitality,” added Ammetta.
Ammetta certainly won Malaysian hearts as she judged the competition to the best of her ability.
The Mr, Miss & Mrs India The Exotic World pageant was presented by Exotic Entertainment. Celebrity guests appearing at the event were Harwinder Mankkar, ChandraBhusan and Varun Suri. The panel of judges included Mr United World 2019 Saurav Singh Rawa, Miss Flair India Komal Kapoor and Malaysia’s Ammetta Malhotra.
The pageant was successful staged by Anshika Singh as the pageant organiser, Dev Negi as director and managed by Deepak Chaturvedi. Sponsors for the event included some of the best names in photography (HS production, Anirudh and Mx Xavier) and makeup (Seema & Team and Nisha Gupta).
