Miss India’s parents terrorised, scared to travel
A group of Gurgaon hooligans have forced Ekta���s parents to cancel plans to attend the Miss Universe contest in Bahamas.
��
The last time we spoke to Miss India Universe Ekta Choudhry���s mother Rita Choudhry, she was really excited about being with Ekta on D-day, August 23 at the Bahamas. A homesick Ekta, too, told us that she was looking forward to meeting her parents.
��
However, it���s not to be and Ekta���s parents have cancelled their trip to the Bahamas.
��
The reason? A group of hooligans near their house have terrorized the family and Ekta���s parents are scared of travelling, in case the house is attacked in their absence. They have also filed a police complaint in this connection.
��
Ekta���s mother, sounding extremely harassed, told us, ���We shifted to Gurgaon from Delhi seven to eight months ago and really regret our decision. There is a small teashop across the road and some hooligans, who sit there the entire day, keep passing cheap remarks. It was extremely upsetting and we complained about this to the police.���
��
She says, ���We feel threatened and are worried that if we leave for Bahamas to attend the pageant, they might burgle our house. That is why we have cancelled our trip.��� The threats have worsened once the teashop was shut down after the police complaint.
��
She explains, ���The law and order situation in Gurgaon isn���t that good.���
��
She adds, ���We haven���t told Ekta about this entire episode... we want her to focus on winning the crown. She has a big responsibility to handle. Our visas and tickets were ready but now we���re too scared to travel.���
��
On Ekta, she says, ���She has bright chances of winning. When I spoke to her today, she told me her interview with the judges went very well. I hope God listens to our prayers and Ekta attains success.���
��
We wish Ekta the best too!
