Trishla went on to add, “Such pageants for the plus sized women have been held in various North American, European and African Countries. However India being ranked as 3rd in the world in the count of overweight population, never had any such pageant. Hence we thought of coming up with this contest for the curvy women of India. Also the agenda of the contest is to propagate healthy living and give the true meaning of fitness, which does not mean to starve you.”
