I thought it was ex of how she looked so ordinary, no better or maybe worse than women we see in everyday life😃Even at age 22, as Miss Universe she was nothing spectacular except for maybe looking good in bikini, which is considered a feat... I guess it's Different strokes for Different folks😃

Anyhoo, haven't seen this one before

P.S. Many including I believe, Sush, Aish, Lara, Priyanka etc owe their good fortune atleast the 'Miss World&Universe' titles to liberalization of Indian economy

Because the sudden flurries of these titles to Indian girls coincided with the liberalization of Indian economy and opening of Indian market in 1991 by Manmohan Singh... Before that it happened only once, Rita Faria won Miss world in 1966😊

So Indians started winning more and more International pageants bcz Indian economy was now open, they wanted to attract Indian consumers. And after that was accomplished, Indian girls at least temporarily have stopped winning those titles...

No! PC Lara Aish Sush Diya were better contenders than the ones Miss India selects now. I have had a relative very involved in pageants. So I cannot somewhat judge.

Lara at times looks like Monica Belluci, very very beautiful. At times very plain. Her head is large. So she had the same issue as me. She doesn't have a defined face cut. I remember in dosti I at times felt even Kareena was prettier. Prefer Lara's height though.

I didn't find her that talented besides her comic time. She got good reviews for Andaaz but her voice was dubbed. I personally enjoyed watching Priyanka more. Her character was more fun.

Career wise saying no to 'Matrix' was her big mistake😛

+1 She would have been way ahead of PC than in terms of Hollywood. It would have suited her accent and looks more. Many critics claimed she was very western looking.

but those things might have made her a hit on talk shows or may be Elen would have liked her better (she seemed to have really disliked PC) but in movies or tv..without acting i doubt she could have made much of an impact

I was being a little sarcastic that's why I used 😛

I've mentioned this before, I really never bought her story, I thought it was a PR stunt...

This was in early 2000... 'She was offered matrix, she turned it down bcz she dislike the script' Reeaally?

But if it's true, then it was a big mistake on her part, she is more suited for west and this is Matrix we're talking about

I googled and found two IVs

Here in 2003 she says she refused Matrix bcz she didn't like the concept

But in 2010 she says "Only a fool will turn down Matrix bcz of script, my mother was sick and I wanted to return home"

LOL, nostalgia puts us in such a trance. Lara was an average actress, who barely made impact in her films. To say she is better than PC is a reach.

She was not as talented as Priyanka. But I do feel she could had good career but she did not have any industry backing or connections.

She did right? How else do you get by in Bollywood? She said on KWK that she hates to socialise in parties and never tries to make contacts, she likes to just party with her friends 😆 How fake man.

It does look like Ellen is dissing her towards the end if the interview or maybe just pulling her leg

So was Priyanka the runner up and Lara the winner of Miss India 2000?

Bold - That's as may be but atleast she would've had 'Matrix' on her resume
