  1. Thank you Nandita for sharing your story with us! How would you have answered the final question? And if you guys have any questions for her, do leave them in the comments below!

  2. Heh so few comments cos many individuals from the majority kind are unhappy that a ‘ceca indian’ (whom these individuals look down upon) made it further in the pageant vs their own perceived ‘superior’ and more ‘progressive’ women.

  3. 【Truly Thankful and Grateful towards @Nandita Banna for sharing her side of story】
    You are an inspirational role-model for a lot of other Singaporeans!
    100% Appreciative towards @ZULA for this awesome and outstanding video too~

  4. She has such a great personality! I love the way she easily flows with the conversation (and also Leah is such a great host!) and she seems like a very down-to-earth person.

    Also PS: Can we have a Zula pageant like what TSL did many years ago haha that will be really funny a cool!

  5. holy shit she’s such an all rounder 😭 not only she is pretty but she holds a double degree while hustling a job that requires so much of commitment and strength!
