Yamaha Fascino Miss Diva
Miss Universe India 2016
Roshmitha Harimurthy walked into her alma mater
Mount Carmel College to loud cheers and whistles from the students. Roshmitha, who is a student at the college, was greeted with posters welcoming her and wishing her for the upcoming Miss Universe
pageant. She, then, spoke to the students about her journey and how being disciplined helped her. Her teachers, too, heaped praise on her for being focused and balancing curriculars and co-curriculars with élan.
After this, all the students clamored for a selfie, leading to a stampede-like situation, but the ever gracious Roshmitha tried to accommodate as many requests as possible. After clicking pictures with students, teachers and college staff, Roshmitha said, “Though I have many friends here, I did not expect this type of turnout and reaction. I thought about a 100 students will come, but the turnout is more than 2,000. This experience is surreal. I am grateful for the kind of love I am getting.”
She is a well-behaved student. I remember she did not qualify for the college fashion team, and then took failure as stepping stone to success

She is always regular in class, and very dedicated. But I feel her humility is what’s going to take her far. She hasn’t changed in the many years that I have known her. The first thing she asked after meeting me is when are the exams. I asked her to concentrate on the pageant for now. The whole of Mount Carmel College is praying that she wins Miss Universe
