Nicole Alvares eyes Femina Miss India crown

pot light. She filled out the forms of Miss India contest with full confidence and has her fingers crossed to be crowned as Miss India."

We contacted Nicole who refused to divulge many details. She said, "Yes, I'm a part of Femina Miss India contest and I'm amongst the top 18 finalists."

Nicole was last seen in Sony's Jhalak Dikhla Ja where she was paired with Karan Singh Grover. Allegedly, the dance rehearsals sent sparks flying among the two. Interestingly Karan did have something to say on Nicole's new venture.

This was what Karan had to say on this issue to one of the media channels- "I wish her all the best. May God give her whatever she deserves in life. I really know how hard she worked. So I will just tell her, 'Nicole, give it your best shot'."

Nicole's first tryst with infamy was when her name appeared in the newspapers for being the sweetheart of Alistair Pereira who killed seven people by driving in an inebriated state.

However, presently she is known more for her ability to beautifully perform various dance styles such as Latin Ballroom, Salsa, Merengue, Ramba, Samba, Cha Cha Cha, Jive, Paso Doble, Waltz, Foxtrot and Tango.
