Miss India Universe Ekta Choudhry, A group of Gurgaon hooligans have forced Ekta’s parents to cancel plans to attend the Miss Universe contest in Bahamas.
The last time we spoke to Miss India Universe Ekta Choudhry’s mother Rita Choudhry, she was really excited about being with Ekta on D-day, August 23 at the Bahamas. A homesick Ekta, too, told us that she was looking forward to meeting her parents.
However, it’s not to be and Ekta’s parents have cancelled their trip to the Bahamas.
The reason? A group of hooligans near their house have terrorized the family and Ekta’s parents are scared of travelling, in case the house is attacked in their absence. They have also filed a police complaint in this connection.
Ekta’s mother, sounding extremely harassed, told us, “We shifted to Gurgaon from Delhi seven to eight months ago and really regret our decision. There is a small teashop across the road and some hooligans, who sit there the entire day, keep passing cheap remarks. It was extremely upsetting and we complained about this to the police.”
She says, “We feel threatened and are worried that if we leave for Bahamas to attend the pageant, they might burgle our house. That is why we have cancelled our trip.” The threats have worsened once the teashop was shut down after the police complaint.
She explains, “The law and order situation in Gurgaon isn’t that good.”
She adds, “We haven’t told Ekta about this entire episode... we want her to focus on winning the crown. She has a big responsibility to handle. Our visas and tickets were ready but now we’re too scared to travel.”
On Ekta, she says, “She has bright chances of winning. When I spoke to her today, she told me her interview with the judges went very well. I hope God listens to our prayers and Ekta attains success.”
