The first runner-up of fbb Colors Femina Miss India 2017 contest, Sana Dua , recently met Jammu and Kashmir governor NN Vohra , and told him about her intention to contribute towards promoting tourism in the conflict-hit region.
“I will speak to Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti about promoting tourism in the Valley. She’ll have a better idea of how to effectively utilise Dua’s popularity and influence in shaping public opinion about the Valley. We must change people’s perception about Jammu and Kashmir for the growth of the tourism sector,” Vohra said on Wednesday.
A lawyer and model by profession, Dua was in Srinagar to meet Vohra. Lauding her achievement, Vohra said, “It has been 17 years since we won a big title. I wish Sana all the best.” He also cited the example of Priyanka Chopra, who has made India proud with her accomplishments in Hollywood.
Dua also shared her experience at the pageant in a candid conversation with Usha Vohra, the governor’s wife. “We’re so glad, you’ve made us so proud,” she told Sana.
“Out of the 22 districts in the state, only 4-5 districts are terror-torn. I really want to emerge as a catalyst in encouraging tourists to visit the valley. I want to alter the common perception that Jammu and Kashmir is unsafe for moving around. This is a goal set that runs parallel to the Miss United Continents, my next pageant,” Dua told the governor.
