Muna Gauchan – Top 20 in Miss Eco International, Egypt

Miss Eco International 2019, held in Ciaro, Egypt was held on March 31, 2019. In the contest, the representative from Nepal was Muna Gauchan. She didn’t make news when she didn’t win any major titles in the contest. But, she had made and impression by being in the list of top contestants.

Miss Eco International is a relatively new beauty contest. There were participants from 65 countries in the contest. Muna Gauchan was one of the top contestants because, she was selected one of the Top 20 contestant. In Talent Round, Muna Gauchan was one of the Top 15.

As Gauchan couldn’t win any titles, she has found an excuse by telling, “It was my first international beauty peagant, I barely had an idea bout it.” Gauchan says, she wasn’t well prepared when compared to the beauties from well experienced countries in the beginning. But later, she cached up with others. She adds, “… standing out, considered as friendly, energetic, dedicated person, being loved by everyone was one of my biggest achievements.” She says that she is “more than happy and satisfied” by her performance.

Miss Nepal Makeup Kanda – Zenisha Moktan suggests: learn, learn, learn

The Miss Nepal of a decade ago, Zenisha Moktan has talked about the Miss Nepal Make Up Kanda that happened during the audition of Miss Nepal 2019. The kanda has created a debate on what should be done and what shouldn’t be done in terms of beauty contests. It is a check and balance that such pageants need so they can be held accountable. It might sound harsh to the organizers and participants, but these aspects can’t be kept in the closet forever.

That is the reason, I am giving focus on this issue and sharing the views of past winners and of those who have louder voices (like the one of Samraddhi Rai).

Here is Zenisha’s full statement, addressing the Miss Nepal 2019 contestant Ashmita Maharjan, the one who was supposedly ‘bullied’ by Rachana Gurung Sharma:

Dear Girl in the Audition Tape,
Welcome to the parallel Universe where u get outpouring support and appreciation for being you, for being “real”! You have now started your journey to venture into OUR universe and I wish you all the best, go fight for that crown, fight hard! and I hope you bring all these self righteous advocates of inner beauty along with you.. cuz we really need them!
Since we are talking now, Let me tell you this! If you ever get the opportunity to wear that coveted crown, you will be bullied and shamed for the very reason u have garnered support today! You will be picked on every choice you make and god forbid they are “real”! You might then understand the double standards we deal with! You might then understand the hypocrisy we are surrounded with!

Shrinkhala Khatiwada speaks against bullying & Makeup Kanda

In an Instagram post, Miss Nepal 2018, Shrinkhala Khatiwada has spoken against bullying. She writes, “I whole heartedly support the body positivity movement and have been voicing out about your own choices, makeup or no makeup. But, I don’t support bullying. Be it bullying a miss Nepal participant or be it bullying a trainer.”

Shrinkhala claims that the problem is not against an individual but the whole concept of beauty pageant. She writes, “I’m a Miss Nepal at the moment and I often have times when I question the relevance of pageants at all. It’s a never ending battle with my mind. I’ve seen the good and the bad. I was lucky to see mostly the goods of the pageant but there’s more to it.”

About the current incident, Shrinkhala writes, “Right now, we are attacking a single individual instead of questioning the entire practice. If we need a long term solution, we need to move away from hate towards one individual and think deeper. Elese, this will just be another Kanda and will soon be forgotten.”

If you ask me, it is just another Kanda and there is nothing to be done.
