Sehr Mahmood- Miss Pakistan World 2006


Sehr Mahmood was born on 10th August in Karachi, Pakistan. She completed her O' and A levels & from there after moved to Boston, USA. Moving from Pakistan to the West was a huge change as the culture and lifestyle was very different but she integrated with the lifestyle of the West. She completed her undergraduate degree - a specialized honors in Economics. She is currently writing GMATS as she will apply for Masters Program next year.

Sehr Mahmood represented Pakistan in the Miss Earth 2006 competition in Philippines and then represented Pakistan inthe Queen of the World pageant in Germany whic hwon her the Queen of elegance title.

In her words, Sehr Mahmood, “The pageant was a first for me and all in all, an amazing experience. A pageant is a great platform which gives Pakistani women the opportunity to emerge as a voice for their community and address issues that need to be dealt with. The best part about being in the pageant was the experience it provided and it made me feel more in touch with the Pakistani community. Even though every girl could not win the crown, they were all still winners as the pageant


gave us all the opportunity to explore our hidden talents and encouraged us to do things we had never done before - be it dancing, the catwalk or even speaking on a stage in front of millions of people.

All his helped build a lot of confidence in the girls and in me personally too. It was a great experience to meet so many different girls from all over Canada and making so many new friends and living with them day in and day out for 4 days was an awesome experience as it gave us the opportunity to get to know each other intimately. Every girl in the competition was unique in her own way and we all adjusted to each others needs and learnt to get along. The pageant also taught us how to deal with responsibility be it making rehearsals on time, getting out clothes done on time , making sure our choreography was perfect in time for the show and so forth. The coordinators and choreographer did a great job in putting together an awesome and flawless show which hopefully everyone enjoyed. I look forward to representing my country in international pageants and doing the best that I can in bringing honor to the title.
