The winner of "Mrs. Sri Lanka" was injured after another beauty queen ripped her crown off her head during the ceremony on Sunday, BBC News reports.
Moments after Pushpika De Silva won the title, the 2019 "Mrs. Sri Lanka" winner, Caroline Jurie, seized her crown during the national broadcast. The former winner claimed De Silva couldn't be named the winner because she is divorced. The winner of the pageant is meant to go on to represent Sri Lanka at the Mrs. World competition, which Jurie won in 2020.More Related News
