One among them was Sana Dua, Miss India 2017 runner-up. The 24-year-old from Kashmir is not just a face of beauty, for, she herself believes that she's shouldering greater responsibilities.
On one hand, Sana harbours dreams of sharing screen space with Deepika Padukone; on the other, she worries about restoring peace in her state.
''Peace in my state first. It's time my triumph changed the face of the state,'' Sana was quoted as saying by the Times of India.
The name Sana is Muslim, but Miss Jammu & Kashmir was born to Sikh parents. And that is exactly how she perceives secularism in India. ''I have a Muslim name Sana. And at the pageant, when my friends and colleagues would ask me what religion I was, I said I am a pa'aji. Pa'aji because I am born to Sikh parents. But, after knowing my name's meaning and origin, my friends began to address me as bhaijaan. Yet, I felt proud that the modern India is secular, '' said Sana.
