It was perhaps the best ever
event of its type.
Miss Indianz 2018, held
on Saturday, September 15,
2018 was a magnificent event
that combined talent, colour,
costumes, pride, elegance, dignity
and honour.
While there is no other event
of its type in the country, Miss
Indianz 2018 was easily the best
in its 16-year run, beating its own
preceding events.
Dharmesh Parikh of Reshab D
Productions, who organises Miss
Indianz year-after-year and his
elder brother Hemant Parikh
who comperes it year-after-year
deserve kudos for their spectacular
efforts. While the former
was not seen on stage, the latter
enjoyed every moment of the
evening, adlibbing with Jacinta
Lal and carrying the audience
with him.
Kartika Singh, the Winner
Kartika Singh, who has been
featured more than once as our
‘Model of the Fortnight’ convincingly
won the Miss Indianz 2018
title. Her poise and presentation
were beyond doubt the crowning
glory of the event.
The Runners-Up
The First-Runner-Up was
Hubaan Saher, while the Second
place was shared by Sinthia
Kumar and Nishka Shetty.
Other Winners
Among the others who won
honours were Sahana (Potential

Talents galore
True to what Dharmesh always
says, ‘It was not just a beauty pageant.
Miss Indianz is a celebration

of Kiwi-Indian, elegance, fashion,
music and dance. We do not give
Cups, we do not cut cakes, we do
not cut corners and we do nothing
to stress our contestants. We do

formats.”
Indeed, while each of the
contestants excelled as a dancer
or singer in the talent round,
there was ample opportunities to
behold the wealth of talent in the
community. There were no less
than a dozen items of music and

dance, of classical, semi-classical,
folk and the film variety. There
was even an opera singer to add to
the versatility.
