When Miss Ishani Shrestha was first crowned I was shocked. Absolutely shocked as to why they would choose Ishani after our goddess of a queen Shristi Shrestha. During the top 10 I was almost sure the top 5 was:
1) Riju Shrestha: She had a good answer and she is stunning!Great smile which goes a long way in pageants. Just as tall as the other contestants.
2) Rojisha Shahi Thakuri: Tall (5'10) and a good face, good answers.
3) Shritima Shah: I knew she was the judges favourite. From day 1, Miss Nepal judges will always choose a smart well poised girl from an upper middle class family as Miss International Nepal. However visually they might not be the best. (Subexchya in comparison to Nagma and Shristi)
4) Sumee Moktan: Of course they would choose Sumee since she was popular among fans. She had a typical cookie cutter answer and lacked genuineness in her answers (although she tried it sounded too Miss America 1990s pageant type) but I knew she would be top 5. She flew all the way from US after all.
price: rs 7000
5) Sipora Gurung: Nepal's sweetheart volleyball player who almost made it. Her answers was her biggest fall back. Also I felt she had still not stripped away her athletic to fully grow into a beauty queen.
I was shocked when they announced Ishani in the Top 5 which was totally unexpected. As the Top 5 progressed I slowly got myself together and tried to predict the Top 3 from the Top 5. My result based on the fact that I heard the contest was rigged was: Miss world Nepal Sipora Gurung (only because I heard it was rigged), Miss Earth Nepal- Rojisha Shahi and Miss International- Shritima Shah (Even though I am not a big fan of her look, she is a smart girl with a lot of confidence).
Fast forward Ishani was crowned I was happy that at-least Rojisha got earth but devastated at the sight of our new winner. Then a funny thing happened, right after a month or two I slowly starting liking Ishani and Shiritima more than Rojisha! The thing is when you first look, you always look for the beauty and height and so on. It should count to a certain extent but I really started to feel as though Ishani and Shiritima both were 'good enough' for the title. At least they were not below 5'7 and their faces were transformable if given the right makeover. What I really liked was how Calm, collected and well mannered both Ishani and Shiritima were compared to Rojisha. Honestly if you are going to participate in Miss Nepal remember there is only so much that makeup and hair can do (alot in most cases haha!) but most importantly attitude! Attitude is what takes you far, the right kind of attitude. The kind of attitude that is genuine not fake! At the same time genuine in a way that is poised and self controlled. Think more Nagma Shrestha and less Rojisha Shahi. All in all I am happy with their character and self developmental hard work!
As the months progressed you can clearly see how even Shiritima has been hard at work improving her look and weight. She has lost close to 40 kg now since her initial selection in the Miss Nepal pageant. In the finale she was 30kgs lighter and looked absolutely stunning on stage. Even in her candid pictures you can see her moving from a slightly over-weight girl with a very flat face and morphed into a gorgeous beauty slowly with polish,class and good style.
Ishani shrestha quiet honestly had an advantage being from the U.S as her style was already pretty modern and polished. As the contest went on her smile and walk was simply eye catching. You could tell she worked very hard to stay poised as demonstrated in this video taken before the Finale night:

You can see how she clearly stands out among the others! Even Sumee's striking bright orange hair and fair skin could not compare with Ishani's confidence and glow.
The moral of this article: If you were chosen in the top 20 to compete in Miss Nepal it is your attitude that will take you far! Even if you are not that good looking if you have the brains, the will power to work hard and to transform into a beauty queen you will surely grab the top 3 tittle! Extreme hard work and research always pays off-minus the ego.
