Himangini Singh Yadu

As the official blogging partner for I AM She 2012, which was held at the sprawling Leonia Holistic Destination in Hyderabad, Team MissMalini had special backstage access throughout the finale. We got to know last years gorgeous winners and heard all about their successes on the international pageant circuit.

Last year’s I AM She winner, Himangini Singh Yadu (who also won the international Miss Asia Pacific 2012 crown for India), had a chat with us just before she went on stage to hand off her crown. Designer Neelam Ashley gave her a last minute touch-up, along with the make-up team at Kryolan. Check out these lovely pix:

Isn’t she a stunner?! No surprise she was the first I AM She winner to bring home an international crown!
