Surrounded by transcription of her being crowned Miss India World 2008, websites catering to Keralites were operating ultimately and for good raison d’être.
Parvathy is the first Malayali to become Miss India World. This 20-year-old classical beauty hails from Changanacherry in Kottayam district, but is presently based in Mumbai.
Parvathy Omanakuttan, who won the Pantaloon Femina Miss India World 2008, has set Keralites talking. And they are still talking and talking and talking…
“It is a great feeling and is something that is beyond expression. I would say there is no better high than seeing your dreams become reality,” said a joyful Parvathy, an English Literature graduate from Mithibhai College in Mumbai.
“I was just seven when I saw Sushmita Sen and Aishwarya Rai winning the pageant. I decided then that one day I would also be like them.’”
Her main substance on winning the pageant was her answer on marital relations. Asked whether the rise in the divorce rate in India was a result of Western influence, she said: “Divorces are not the result of Western influence.
At the end of the day it is we who decide one’s worth. Marriage is not when one completes the other, but when both share their completeness.”
‘Sweet girl’
It was her serene answer that set her spaced out from the respite, and her teachers and former classmates conspicuously remember her for that excellence.
“She was very sweet and above average,” her former teacher stated.
“Parvathy was quietly confident, you know, the determined type,” she said, adding that the “sweet girl” was popular among friends.
Her Andheri neighbours recalled how, early in the morning, they used to come across Parvathy, drenched in sweat, jogging around their neighborhood with her mother in tow.
Now all that solid exertion has paid off and Malayalis in her neighbourhood are swollen with satisfaction . They reeled off their pains in dispensing the SMS vote round in the contest.
After the crowning, when the winners were approached backstage and asked how they intended to chill out, they answered in unanimity.
After weeks of being on a harsh diet, they wanted to party tough and push the boat out by overwhelming chocolate pastries, brownies, ice-cream and pizzas with cheese toppings!
And how will the Malayalis have a good time?
Zimbly by rolling to chatter and utter and talk!!

Was the Femina Miss India contest always part of the larger plan in life, or was it just something you decided to enter?
It was unquestionably not on a impulse. I’d always wanted to be a Femina Miss India since I was a little girl. Then I read an ad in the paper this year and knew it was time. I was 24… I didn’t want to look back at 60 and regret not having given it a try.
You dreamt of being famous?
Yes. I enjoy being famous. Initially, it was a attraction, now it’s a job.
How do you feel being among the Femina’s 50 Most Beautiful Women in India?
I can’t believe it. For someone as low profile as me, it was overwhelming.
You are thinking of getting into Bollywood?
For now, I’d really like to stay focused on the contest. But I also want to do a lot of things in the future, Bollywood, etc. And I definitely want to have an album of my own some day.
What is your dream role?
Any role in ‘Shantaram’. I’d have the best of both worlds. I mean, it’s Johnny Depp and Amitabh Bachchan!
Tell us your fitness mantra.
I’ve been in training for about three months now. Deanne Pandey is my trainer and she is really the best. She’s extremely dedicated and constantly updates my workout so that I don’t get bored. I do a bit of kick boxing, yoga,weight training and cardio and I eat healthy.
Your advice to the young girls who would like to experience Femina Miss India.
Young girls out there should not let anyone control their minds. If you give up your autonomy, you’ve lost a massive part of yourself.
The worst analysis you have received so far?
Bodily criticism is the easiest way to affect a girl. I got a lot of that during the pageant. I decided to get healthy, and lost six kilos in three weeks.
The secret to your beauty..
Water. I try to drink at least three to four litres a day. It’s wonderful and flushes out all the toxins.
What do your carry in your make up box?
I always carry some sort of gloss, because my lips tend to get chapped a lot. So I have my gloss from The Body Shop.Also, transparent mascara and of course the Bobbi Brown eye shadow, blusher and bronzer in one.
The obsession you disgust about yourself..
I’m very hard on myself…
Do you have boyfriends?
I’m single… but have no time for a relationship. I’m dating a couple of
guys though.
The biggest support you have..
My family.Although they live in Muscat, I know they are always there for me. I gain my strength from them.
Where do you see yourself after an year?
Travelling around the world, hopefully as Miss World!
