SriLankan Airlines carried the finalists of the Miss Veet Pakistan beauty pageant to Colombo recently, with Sri Lanka’s southern coastal town of Balapitiya hosting the final rounds of the competition, which will certainly provide extensive publicity in Pakistan to the island.
The dozen finalists were part of a larger group of 44 contestants, planners, beauticians and celebrity judges from the pageant who were flown in from Karachi. They will be in Sri Lanka for a 17-day period up to 17 September. The finalists were selected during preliminary rounds held in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.
This event is organised by HUM TV, one of Pakistan’s leading television channels, and the pageant will be telecast on HUM TV and its sister channels.
