Reigning Miss India Worldwide will not be in Malaysia
When Alana Seebarran, the reigning Miss India Worldwide 2012 and Guyana’s first international pageant winner, was contacted about her intended travel plans to Malaysia, Kaieteur News was surprised to learn that she was informed via email that she is no longer invited to the pageant in Malaysia to hand over her crown.

Ms. Seebarran went on to offer that there were various instances during her reign when things were sometimes less than perfect but she felt a sense of duty to her title and to her country and soldiered on.
Ms. Seebarran says that it feels as if she has been penalised by the India WorldWide pageant. She considers her sashing her successor as an integral part of her role, function and privilege as a Queen.
“The Chairman has stated that he and the organisation have not stripped me and do not intend to but it is still a very confusing situation not to have been invited to hand over my crown when it is my duty as the reigning queen.”
When the reigning Miss India Worldwide was asked about the Youtube video that surfaced in social media in Guyana where another Guyanese young lady seemed to claim to be the Queen; Alana said she was disappointed and hurt because the young lady in question was the sister of the Miss India Worldwide Guyana franchise, Chandini Rambalak Ramnarine.
Alana also disclosed that this interview was arranged by Chandini who was also Alana’s agent/manager at the time.
When Alana was asked whether she thinks her not attending the pageant in Malaysia has anything to do with this video and the scandal that followed or the subsequent severing of the relationship with Chandini, she added that she has since sought legal advice on the matter and would not want to comment too much about that matter at this time.
When Alana was crowned it was the first time that Guyana has ever won an international pageant. “I am very hurt and disappointed that I will not be crowning my successor.”
