It's Weird to walk in bikini and heels on stage: Priyanka

Dec 30, 2014 NR

Actress and Miss World 2000 Priyanka Chopra thinks it's awkward and not natural to walk on stage in bikini and high heels, feels lucky not to have the swimsuit round during the competition.

The organisers of The Miss World contest, which has been an annual feature since 1951, have removed swimsuit round from their competition starting next year.

Reacting to this news, Priyanka said, "Obviously it's strange to walk in heels and swim suit on stage. Take us to a pool or a beach and do that shoot, that's fine because that's a natural environment. It's weird and not natural."

"I have found it awkward myself but I am happy that it didn't happen with me in my years during Miss World. We didn't have this swimsuit round", she added.

Rolene Strauss of South Africa was crowned the 64th Miss World winner in London Dec 14, and it marked the final event featuring contestants wearing bikinis.
