Heard of Pankhuri Gidwani? Well, she was the Miss India Runner Up 2016. It doesn’t end here. This feisty girl from Lucknow ditched her Class XII examinations for participating in the Femina Miss India Contest.
Gidwani appeared for her examinations in 2017 after returning back from the glamorous world of modeling, the movie offers and what not! Yesterday, the ICS board declared its results and really, it would be indecorous to say that Gidwani just excelled at it. The Miss India Runner Up 2016 scored a whopping 97.25 per cent in her Class XII boards.
Pankhuri took to Facebook to share her excitement. She posted a beautiful photo of hers. With the wind in her flowing hairs and her chin up high, Gidwani gave out a strong message to her fans, followers, and friends. She captioned the photo with this beautiful message: “I had missed my board examinations for participating in Miss India(at 18) and after winning Miss India 2nd Runners Up I had to train for Miss Grand International and received the 25th position out of 80 countries.After coming back from the pageant, I battled a number of hard situations, one of them getting adjusted to studying again after a year of glamour.I put my all into it,and this is the result I came forth with :)So all the people out there who think that something they want is impossible to accomplish, whether it is academics, your dreams or the love you want, you can achieve it all, just have the grit, determination and a true heart to pursue it all.”
97.25 it is.So there is something i would like all my friends and followers to know 🙂 i had missed my board…

Pankhuri who is a student of La Martiniere Girls’ College, Lucknow has become an inspiration for all those girls who are shunning their inspirational instincts for the sake of societal pressures or accustomed practices.
The results for the ISC boards were declared on May 29 at 3 pm. The overall pass percentage this year was at 96.47 per cent and the exam was topped by Ananya Maiti who scored 99.4 percent.
