Gurgaon girl’s crowning secret her strong views

GURGAON: Aditi Arya, a resident of Nirvana Country in Sector 50, made the city proud by bagging the fbb Femina Miss India World 2015 on Saturday.

It turns out the 21-year-old, who will represent the country at the Miss World pageant, never thought of taking up modeling as her career.

She explained, "I was doing my internship as a research analyst with a city-based MNC, attending conclaves and conferences. But I'm opinionated, and wanted to be heard. The idea of representing my country through the Femina Miss India platform, therefore, intrigued me."

Aditi moved to the city with her family from Chandigarh eight years ago. For her, Gurgaon is truly a city of opportunities. "When I moved here, it was like a fantasy land to me. The city offered immense opportunities. My schooling and exposure to a fast-paced life helped me grow," she told TOI. Galleria market and Leisure Valley were her favourite hangout places and she was regular at the Patio club gym.

Describing her daughter as multi-talented, Aditi's mother Poonam said, "She was a regular at Zumba classes. Simultaneously, she had interest in music, sketching and writing. She never thought of becoming a model, but took the opportunity to achieve higher goals in life."

"At school, she was a perfect mix of innocence, intelligence and amicability, with a serene calmness flowing through her. The first time she took part in a Model United Nations competition, she caught our attention with a remarkable display of writing skills," said Arti Chopra, principal of Amity International School, Sector 46, where Aditi studied after she moved to Gurgaon. She had addressed students of her school a couple of months back.

While completing her BBA from Shaheed Sukhdev College of Business Studies in Vivek Vihar, Aditi got involved with NGO Protsahan, which works for welfare of differently-abled children.

"The title is an opportunity for me to take up social causes. I'm glad it will help me make a difference in society," she said.

Nirvana residents were overjoyed with the news. Ashu, a resident who knows the family well, said, "She (Aditi) is extremely sincere and focused. Her family is down-to-earth. We have already congratulated the parents and are waiting for them to return for the celebrations."

I regret not listening to Aamir Khan

The author has posted comments on this articleTNN | Feb 16, 2015, 04.21PM IST

Page 1 of 4

Mahesh Kothare is a super successful filmmaker in the Marathi industry and has also directed some Hindi films.

But do you know that this acclaimed filmmaker was once rejected by the perfectionist Aamir Khan? In an interview with boxofficeindia.co.in, Mahesh revealed how he regretted not paying heed to Aamir's advice. He said, "I made two Hindi films. My first film was 'Masoom', which was promoted really well and its song 'Chhota baccha...' became a rage. My second film was my own production, 'Lo Main Aa Gaya', for which I initially wanted Aamir Khan. I pursued a meeting with him for a long time and he was kind enough to meet me. In fact, we had five to six meetings. He didn't like the script but he was gracious enough to suggest a few changes that would improve it."

Mahesh further elaborated how he got annoyed at the suggestions and didn't listen to him. He went on to make the movie.

"But, you know, there are times when one goes through something called 'vinash kal vipreet buddhi'. During this time, one's mind is possessed by the devil. So I got annoyed, which I shouldn't have, because he is a very intelligent person. When I look back, I regret NOT listening to Aamir Khan. I thought if I could make a film like Masoom, I could make a film with newcomers and hit the jackpot. So I roped in Govinda's nephew to make the movie and I was wiped out! But then I am a fighter, so I fought back, crawled back, and came back with a bang with 'Pachadlela' - a Marathi mega-hit." Kothare is currently busy with the mythological TV series 'Jai Malhar' which he is producing. The serial stars Devdatta Nage as Lord Khandoba, Surabhi hande as his wife Mhalsa and Isha Keskar as Banai.

I regret not listening to Aamir Khan

Mahesh Kothare is a super successful filmmaker in the Marathi industry and has also directed some Hindi films.

But do you know that this acclaimed filmmaker was once rejected by the perfectionist Aamir Khan? In an interview with boxofficeindia.co.in, Mahesh revealed how he regretted not paying heed to Aamir's advice. He said, "I made two Hindi films. My first film was 'Masoom', which was promoted really well and its song 'Chhota baccha...' became a rage. My second film was my own production, 'Lo Main Aa Gaya', for which I initially wanted Aamir Khan. I pursued a meeting with him for a long time and he was kind enough to meet me. In fact, we had five to six meetings. He didn't like the script but he was gracious enough to suggest a few changes that would improve it."

Mahesh further elaborated how he got annoyed at the suggestions and didn't listen to him. He went on to make the movie.

"But, you know, there are times when one goes through something called 'vinash kal vipreet buddhi'. During this time, one's mind is possessed by the devil. So I got annoyed, which I shouldn't have, because he is a very intelligent person. When I look back, I regret NOT listening to Aamir Khan. I thought if I could make a film like Masoom, I could make a film with newcomers and hit the jackpot. So I roped in Govinda's nephew to make the movie and I was wiped out! But then I am a fighter, so I fought back, crawled back, and came back with a bang with 'Pachadlela' - a Marathi mega-hit." Kothare is currently busy with the mythological TV series 'Jai Malhar' which he is producing. The serial stars Devdatta Nage as Lord Khandoba, Surabhi hande as his wife Mhalsa and Isha Keskar as Banai.

I regret not listening to Aamir Khan

Mahesh Kothare is a super successful filmmaker in the Marathi industry and has also directed some Hindi films.

But do you know that this acclaimed filmmaker was once rejected by the perfectionist Aamir Khan? In an interview with boxofficeindia.co.in, Mahesh revealed how he regretted not paying heed to Aamir's advice. He said, "I made two Hindi films. My first film was 'Masoom', which was promoted really well and its song 'Chhota baccha...' became a rage. My second film was my own production, 'Lo Main Aa Gaya', for which I initially wanted Aamir Khan. I pursued a meeting with him for a long time and he was kind enough to meet me. In fact, we had five to six meetings. He didn't like the script but he was gracious enough to suggest a few changes that would improve it."

Mahesh further elaborated how he got annoyed at the suggestions and didn't listen to him. He went on to make the movie.

"But, you know, there are times when one goes through something called 'vinash kal vipreet buddhi'. During this time, one's mind is possessed by the devil. So I got annoyed, which I shouldn't have, because he is a very intelligent person. When I look back, I regret NOT listening to Aamir Khan. I thought if I could make a film like Masoom, I could make a film with newcomers and hit the jackpot. So I roped in Govinda's nephew to make the movie and I was wiped out! But then I am a fighter, so I fought back, crawled back, and came back with a bang with 'Pachadlela' - a Marathi mega-hit." Kothare is currently busy with the mythological TV series 'Jai Malhar' which he is producing. The serial stars Devdatta Nage as Lord Khandoba, Surabhi hande as his wife Mhalsa and Isha Keskar as Banai.
