Ramp model Simona Roy to represent India at Ms Bikini Online 2014

Well-known ramp model and actress Simona Roy will represent India at the international glamour pageant Ms Bikini Online 2014 to be held in Seychelles in May this year.  Each country is eligible to send in 3 participants taking the total number of participating contestants to over 500 at the first round.

A press report by news and content agency Newz66.com quoted Simona Roy as saying, “I have been selected by an international committee to represent India at the Ms Bikini Online 2014 glamour and fashion pageant. I had mailed my photographs in the first week of January to the international agency handling the pageant and had forgotten about it. I was not expecting a reply, when out of the blue, I got an email on 24^th February confirming my nomination for the prestigious pageant. At first I was a bit skeptical. But then the agency followed up their mail with other giving complete details of the main pageant to be held in Seychelles during May. It is an honour to be part of this prestigious event and I will give it my best.”

Simona Roy who originally hails from Kolkatta has walked the ramp for several fashion designers and has featured on magazine covers like Enlighten and Femina besides many others. She is also doing a couple of films in the south in Tamil and Telugu.

Ms Bikini Online is an international pageant co-ordinated by 7 Star Inc and held annually each year. The winners are decided by the number of votes and ‘LIKES’ they get on the internet. A gala fashion event is held to announce and crown the winners who take home about 100,000 USD totally in prizes and gifts. Though the pageant was criticized by a few international models who claimed that the international online voting system was susceptible to flaws and could be hijacked by professional social marketing experts, the organizers claim that they have several technical checks to ensure that fake votes or ‘LIKES’ are not generated by paid web experts.
