India's FIRST Miss India, that went to the Miss Universe Competition in 1964.
An Icon, the FIRST lady of Indian Fashion: Meher Castelino
AT 16, she did her first modelling show. A brief pause later, she was chosen as the Cover Girl for Femina. And then came the Miss India contest - in 1964. Meher Castelino won the title in those `fashion-and-modelling-are-taboo' days.
"At that time, Miss India contest was not a open beauty pageant. We had to send our picture to the organisers directly. That year, out of the 500 contestants, 10 were short-listed and after an exhaustive interview on different topics, and a show where we had to walk the ramp wearing a sari, an Indian gown and a swimsuit, I was declared a winner," reminisces Meher.
