Sravya Kalyanapu was well represented at the Miss World Canada Pageant.
Miss Northern Alberta, Srayva Kalyanapu, finished in the top
15 of the competition.
This was her first national pageant as she entered hoping to
come in the top 20, never expecting to top her expectation.
Kalyanapu tells Mix News the whole experience was
“unexpected”, “adventurous,” and exhausting.
“It was a lot of work, there was a lot of days where we do
almost 16 hours of walking around but it was really fun meeting all the girls.”
The pagaent featured over 50 women from across Canada.
Besides finishing in the top 15, Sravya Kalyanapu was also
presented with the People’s Choice Award, given to the contestant the public
believed would best represent Canada on the international stage.
“I felt very honoured, grateful and very, very thankful that
all these people voted for me, very happy, surprised, but happy.”
However, she notes this award made her overall finish a
little disappointing.
“I thought this would be a great platform to talk about my
views, my opinions, bring light on important issues like education so I was a
little disappointed I didn’t have the opportunity to use that platform to
spread my message out.”
Kalyanapu is currently an engineering student at the
University of Alberta. She plans on taking a break from the pageant lifestyle
to focus on her studies.
“We are so, so fortunate to live in a nation like Canada
where women have all these amazing opportunities to build ourselves an amazing
future.”
