New Delhi: Harshita Saxena has voluntarily surrendered her Miss India Earth 2008 title and Tanvi Vyas has been crowned as the new Pantaloons Femina Miss India Earth 2008.
Tanvi will now go on to represent India in the international pageant. Harshita Saxena has withdrawn her candidature from the pageant in lieu of the allegations raised by Gladrags officials.
At a press conference convened in Mumbai on Tuesday, President of Gladrags beauty pageants Maureen Wadia claimed that Harshita is a model from her company and under contract with them.
Maureen also said Harshita could not participate in any other beauty contest and threatened legal action against the beauty queen. Harshita was the third runner-up at the glittering Miss India event held at the Andheri Sports Complex in Mumbai on Saturday night.
Earlier in an interview with CNN-IBN Maureen Wadia said, "Harshita Saxena from Goa is a Gladrags model. She was a part of my Megamodel Contract in April 2006. Her contract has not expired and this girl has entered in some other contest before the contract has expired. The contract clearly says that they have to take my permission."
