Ajay Sharma and Vishal Shah, our second and third winners respectively were the early birds amongst the 16 who guessed the first and second positions correctly. A total of 22 people guessed the first plus third positions accurately, but only four managed to send in correct entries for the second plus third positions.
Pretty lady from Mumbai, Sufi Sayyad, 22, was the only one to guess the winners in their correct order.
Sufi, who aspires to be an actor, has won the first prize of `1 lakh. She says, “I’m feeling great. I was hopeful of winning as I have great intuitive power. I follow the contest with dedication and it wasn’t tough for me to guess the winners. Given a chance, I would like to meet Pantaloons Femina Miss India World 2011 Kanishtha.”
Ajay Sharma, 22, who studies at Moti Lal Nehru College, Delhi University, made two correct guesses and won a cash prize of `50,000. He reacts, “It’s a pleasant surprise. I didn’t expect to win, but it seems lady luck is on my side. I have an earnest desire to meet Ankita Shorey and the other two Miss India winners as well.”
Forty-year-old Vishal Shah, who won the third prize of `25,000 is a regional director with a Mumbai-based firm. He correctly guessed the name of Miss India World 2011 and Miss India Earth 2011.
Surprised with his win, Vishal thanked the Miss India team and said, “I am extremely happy. I voted for Kanishtha Dhankhar and Hasleen Kaur as I saw potential in them.”
