Doha, Qatar: When the curtains rise on the Haut Monde Mrs. India Worldwide Beauty Pageant this May at Dubai’s Hilton Al Seef Heritage Hotel, the finalist Pooja Abrol will be stepping far beyond her usual corporate confines. Representing Qatar, this entrepreneur and mother is set to transform her advocacy for women's empowerment and cultural heritage into a compelling pageant performance.
Pooja Abrol, born and raised in a Punjabi family in Delhi, moved to the Middle East as part of her professional journey, which spanned over a decade. Working with government organizations and as an entrepreneur, she has established herself as a pivotal member of her community. Abrol’s path to the pageant began as a personal challenge to defy stereotypes and advocate for women’s empowerment, and environmental sustainability.
In an exclusive interview with The Peninsula, Abrol shared her motivations for entering the pageant: "My interest to participate for Mrs. India Worldwide Beauty Pageant stems from my passion for becoming self-reliant, a dreamer advocating the power belief in turning dreams into reality thus encouraging and inspire all women to empower and celebrating their achievements." She adds, “It’s an opportunity for me to showcase my inner strength, intelligence, and cultural pride.”
When asked about representing Qatar, she expressed a deep connection to her second home, noting the cultural richness that has enriched her life. "Representing Qatar at the Mrs. India Worldwide beauty pageant will allow me to showcase the unique blend of sophistication, grace, and diversity that defines the women here," Abrol stated, emphasizing the honor of representing such dynamic traditions on an international platform.
Abrol plans to incorporate elements of her Indian heritage and Middle Eastern experiences in her pageant performance. "My presentation and performance at the pageant will reflect my multicultural identity, blending elements of my Indian heritage such as dance, music and languages with my experience in the Middle East in terms of cultural diversity and inclusivity" she explained.
