The contest also witnessed some scintillating performances by the students. A fusion dance on a Marathi lavani song was well appreciated by the audience. Certain groups of students showed their sensitive side by performing acts on topics as serious as acid attack victims, etc. A group struck an emotional chord with the audience with a heart-wrenching story on the issue faced by parents of old age homes. After walking the ramp in 70’s retro look, the contestants further upped the energy quotient with Zumba dance on ‘Ladki beautiful kar gai chul’.

While Chance’ salon’s beauty manager Aarti Eliezer gave some important beauty tips to the contestants, Sushma Hedao took an eye makeup session and Dr Shishir Palsapure undertook a session on confidence building. First runner up at Mrs Maharashtra 2016 Swati Banerjee conducted a grooming session for the contestants. Dr Meenakshi Kulkarni guided the students on change management, positive attitude, etiquettes and manners.

 When Nation Next spoke to Harsha Jharia, she said, “Organising Ms LAD contest every year gives me immense satisfaction even though it involves three months of rigorous training of the students on better communication skills, confidence building, grooming, styling, fitness with Zumba, group discussions, brain storming sessions, etc. The best part about this contest is that unlike other pageants, Ms LAD doesn’t have beauty as its criteria. It’s solely talent based. Because of this, I have been seeing a positive change in the contestants since last 10 years. We’ve seen these girls getting selected in campus interviews and attaining success in their respective careers.”
