Jalpa Thanky, answers her question.

Like all awards ceremonies that you may have witnessed, this pageant was similar to those in more ways than one. How then can you explain moist eyes amongst the crowds when Mr. Shah, the father of the famous late Tejal Shah came on stage to give away the Miss Congeniality trophy? The crowd was more moved when Tejal Shah’s niece, Bijal Shah played a soothing tune in commemoration of her late aunt.

ABC Bank Miss India Kenya 2005

Finals

27th August, 2005.

Indian Glitz, African Glamour… the theme could not have been more suitable for this year’s ABC Bank Miss India Kenya 2005 beauty pageant.

The Indian Glitz round... dazzling or what?

The months of rigorous training finally came to an end on the 27th night of August 2005, as each of the ten finalists prepared to showcase her talent and mesmerize the audience with her beauty and catwalk.

The event kicked-off by Mr. & Mrs. Ashraf Savani of the ABC Bank, who cut a cake to celebrate twenty successful years that ABC Bank has been in the business.

This was followed by the opening round where each beauty walked the ramp in sensational black sarees. Needless to say, the crowd was already hooked!

Pooja Kotedia answers her question as Jasmine, the MC looks on...

Eric Wainaina did best what he normally does. He sang a beautiful multi-language song. Of course, the audience was happy to get the best of both worlds from him. Other performances were by Mellow Dee (also known as Melissa De Block, last year’s Miss India Kenya queen), a superb performance by Action in Focus and the Safari Cats.

She also thanked Jasmine Postwalla and Benjamin for their support in putting up a great show!
