GUWAHATI: Former Miss India finalist and ace model Aishwarya Sheoran has hogged the limelight by not winning some beauty pageant, but clearing the Union Public Service (UPSC) Civil Service Examinations (CSE) 2019, results of which were declared on Tuesday.
Sheoran, who dreams to become an IAS officer, has secured 93rd rank in CSE 2019. The 23-year-old model has said that she always wanted to become a Civil Servant and revealed that she did not take up any coaching classes to clear the exam.
“I had to switch off my phone, social media, everything, to focus on the exam and the result is here. But it’s not that I suddenly generated an interest in studies. I was always very studious. I was the head girl in my school. I was a science student and then I went to SRCC (Sri Ram College of Commerce), so my background was such. And ultimately I gravitated back to my studies,” she said while speaking to a national daily.
“For me, it was a huge transition. I was participating in Delhi Times Fresh Face and other beauty pageants, and I was also modelling for designers and magazines. I have walked in the Bombay Times Fashion Week, Lakme Fashion Week, Amazon Fashion Week, and for designers like Manish Malhotra,” The Times of India quoted Sheoran as saying.
The 23-year-old, however, said that she decided to take a break for a year or two and give the civil services exams as it was always her my dream to become an IAS officer. She also said that she thought of joining the Indian Army as her father is the Commanding Officer of NCC Telangana Battalion. The idea of joining the Army was dropped, however, as there are ‘only limited opportunities’, she said.
Meanwhile, Femina Miss India took to Twitter to congratulate the model-turned-civil servant.
