I just posted about the Femina Miss India winners for 2008 and it turns out there's a Miss-India-Gate type controversy going on regarding Miss India Earth Harshita Saxena.
It seems to be a muddled mess. According to Mareen Wadia, the president of the Gladrags pageant:
"Harshita was in a two-year contract with us and as per the agreement she was not supposed to participate in any other contest without our permission. She now has won the Miss India Earth crown, which is a breach of contract,"
Well the plot thickens because Harshita places the blame on Gladrags:
"It was extremely unprofessional on the part of Gladrags to bring this up now as they have not given me any work in the past two years of my association. They did not give me a copy of the contract although they had promised to provide me the same. Since I had read the contract 2 years back I did not remember the exact dates. I tried getting in touch with the Gladrags officials to confirm the expiry date, however there was no response from them. Also I would have appreciated the fact if Gladrags would have approached me directly rather than me being informed via the media."
My take on it is that both Harshita and Gladrags are at fault. She signed a contract, so READ what it entailed. As for Gladrags, I do agree with Harshita, they could have handled it in a more professional manner and contacted her. After all, she's the one who signed the contract, not the rest of India.
