Sehr Bansal, an 18-year-old NCC girl cadet, is blessed with both beauty and brains.

Sehr, from fourth NCC Directorate (Karnataka and Goa) and a student of Welcome Group Graduate School of Hotel Management in Manipal University, emerged as second runner-up during the international pageant ‘Miss Supermodel International’, organised as a part of International Fashion Week in Goa recently.

She was also crowned Miss Talented 2018.

Twenty girls, who took part in the five-day pageant, were selected from across the country after extensive auditions and were trained and groomed by different celebrities.

The girls also modeled for major brands like Marks and Spencer, Deal Jeans, Max, Shoppers Stop, Tommy Hilfiger among others. Sehr hails from Chandigarh but had represented Karnataka in the pageant.

Sehr is pursuing bachelors degree in hotel management and her father, Brigadier Roveen, is serving as Deputy Director General (DDG) of NCC Punjab Directorate in Chandigarh. Her brother Neil Bansal is also a NCC (Junior division) cadet from Lawrence School in Sanawar, Himachal Pradesh. 

Sehr had excelled in many sports and multiple skills, including academics, scoring 96% in 12th and 2nd place in her college this year. An accomplished dancer, she is also part of the famous dance crew of Manipal University called 'Blitzkrieg'.

The winners were decided on the basis of activities like fitness, talent, body, personal interview, walk, confidence, communication skills among others.

The organising team of the beauty pageant had toured all over India and selected a representative aspiring for the coveted Miss India crown from each state.

Sehr, basking in her recent success, aspires to become an actress and a supermodel some day.
