Focusing on Miss Universe, says Bengaluru beauty Roshmitha

September 13, 2016

Bengaluru, Sep 13: Bengaluru girl Roshmitha Harimurthy has still not come to terms with the fact that she is the reigning Yamaha Fascino Miss Diva 2016. "It hasn't sunk in yet. Each time I hear somebody else say it, I feel the same excitement and happiness. It is surreal. I just remember Urvashi Rautela being happier than me while passing on the crown to me. It was like we both won," she says. Roshmitha was completely surprised when the results were announced as she's the sort of person who works towards the outcome, but keeps her expectations low. "I knew I had given my best, but did not expect too much. The journey wasn't easy, but I did not lose hope and my confidence kept growing."rosh

There is this Bengaluru magic in the air now. It makes us happy and immensely proud that we are from Karnataka. Also, now we will be together for a year in the same house, and eat South Indian food. Of course, relocating to Mumbai will be difficult because I have lived with parents all my life. Let's see how it goes.

Her time in Bengaluru

In school (Sophia High School), I was a quiet girl, but I came out of my shell in college (Mount Carmel College) and took part in cultural fests. Both institutions played a big role in shaping me. I loved the moral science classes, during which they spoke about our behaviour. I always remember being a good kid and following rules and regulations from an early age. I don't understand the is perception about bad girls having the most fun. It is good to be a good girl and it is not boring. I think discipline and the art of listening helped me.

Qualities that made her win

I performed all the tasks — be it dancing, ramp walk or any other thing — with grace and confidence. Though I am an introvert, I was outspoken when I needed to be and voiced my views loud and clear.

Her sister Rakshitha being an influence Rakshitha, who is two years younger than me, took part in Miss India 2015 and was in the top 10. That inspired me to get into this pageant. Though I would love to pass my crown to her next year, I want her to come back to the stage only after improving certain things.

Fitness regime

I've always followed a very simple exercise regime and diet plan. I work out every alternate day and do not overeat. It helps that I have a good metabolism, but I do not take it for granted and hog. Of course, now that the Miss Universe pageant, in which I will represent India, is in four months, I will be working out in full swing as we need to have good bodies. I have four months to prepare and I hope to improve myself holistically. I also hope to improve my Hindi, which has already became better since I went to Mumbai. But during the transformation, I don't want to lose the parts of myself that made me win Miss Diva. I just hope I get to eat rice and sambar once a day at least.

Once, during high-tea, judge Lara Dutta gave us tips on what a true diva is all about and that was beautiful. I also enjoyed late-night swims with the girls. After the whole day, we used to go to the pool after midnight and chill. It was the most relaxing time for us. I also remember the time spent with my friends Sophia Singh, Natasha Bharadwaj and Srishti. I also waved at Amitabh Bachchan and he waved back, which made my day.

Bolly dreams

I will focus on Miss Universe right now. As for Bollywood, not everyone is approached with an offer. If I do get a movie, I'd love to do it; otherwise I won't enter the field as I do not think it is my cup of tea. Ten years down the line, I want to be an entrepreneur and be seen not on the cover of a fashion magazine, but on a business magazine.

New Delhi, Apr 16: Actor Salman Khan on Thursday put out a sharp message to the "jokers" who were flouting government-imposed guidelines and venturing out during the ongoing lockdown, putting at risk countless lives to the deadly coronavirus.

In his characteristic 'Bhai' style, Salman also appealed to people to not attack doctors, nurses and police personnel who are in the frontline of the battle against COVID-19.

In a 10-minute hard hitting video shared on Instagram he begins with a "Hello, namaste, salaam, sasriyakaal, Kem Cho' in typical TV reality show 'Big Boss' style and goes on to say 'Zindagi ka Bigg Boss' has begun with the entire country staying in lockdown mode at home.
He said he had taken a two-day "chhutti" (leave) but "This corona, COVID-19 has given everyone a 'chutti'."

Khan said he was staying at his farmhouse in Panvel near Mumbai with his family including his mother, two sisters their children and some other people who had come to visit.

In the video he said that he had sent a friend to get rations for the family from a village around five kilometres away. He recounted that the police stopped him and in the process, his friend took off the mask to speak to the policeman who reprimanded him and asked him to put the mask back on. Salman said that he too chided his friend for doing such a thing.

"Don't go out, don't do social gatherings, stay with your family, the government has said if you are doing namaaz, do it at home, do pooja at home..." the actor said, adding that those who had a wish to kill their families should step out.
"Go out get your ration, nobody is stopping you, go nearby but wear your masks, your gloves, go alone," the actor said underlining that the government has assured that everybody will get ration.

The actor said that whoever does not understand a coronavirus positive patient's pain is anti-human.

He pointed out that doctors, nurses and policemen are putting in long hours to curb the spread of coronavirus and urged people to respect their work and stay inside.

The actor said policemen would not have taken action and hit people if they followed guidelines and stayed inside. "If you weren't going out with friends, police wouldn't have hit you. Do you think police are enjoying it?," he asked.

"Doctors and nurses are working to save your lives and what do you do? You started pelting stones at them? Those who have been diagnosed with coronavirus, are running away from the hospitals. Where are you running? Towards life or death?," he questioned in his video.

The 'Dabangg 2' star appreciated the efforts by the frontline warriors and said, "the virus that started in China is over in China now, but because of a few jokers, the whole of India will sit at home for a long time."

The 54-year-old star said that he was aware of many people who wouldn't come out of their homes earlier but have started doing so since they've been asked to not go out.

"You are putting everyone's lives at risk," the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor said.

Salman concluded by urging people to respect the work of the doctors, nurses, police personnel and those who work in banks, take care to ensure that the disease does not spread further and pray that it does not come to a situation where the military has to be called in to stop people from doing the wrong thing.

Filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri took to Twitter to shared the video message. "Very well said @BeingSalmanKhan I hope wisdom prevails everywhere," he tweeted.
