Bringing laurels to the State, two young girls, including a tribal, have been adjudged the first and second runner-ups, respectively, and also won different subtitles at the recently-concluded India’s Charming Face (ICF), Miss India 2020 held in Goa.
After qualifying at the State level, six girls from Odisha were selected for the national beauty pageant that had two categories: Miss India Global Universe and Miss India Tourism.
Tribal Babita Sabar from southern Odisha and Sasmita Panda from Jagatsinghpur were adjudged the runner-ups, respectively, in the Miss India Tourism category. Besides, she secured the Miss Intellectual subtitle while Sasmita bagged the Miss Graceful subtitle.
Sasmita, who wants to be a successful actress, has many music videos to her credit. With dreams in her eyes, she said this beauty pageant was a new experience for her and she is ready for her next steps.
Babita, a small town girl, has certainly set an example for many others by becoming the first girl from the Saura tribal community to have stepped into fashion industry. She aspires to be a supermodel one day.
