Nagpur’s Shilpa Agrawal wins Mrs Universe Lovely 2017 title in South Africa
Nagpur industrialist Shilpa Agrawal has made the city proud by winning the Mrs Universe Lovely 2017 title at the Mrs Universe 2017 pageant grand finale held at Durban, South Africa on September 2, 2017. The Mrs Universe 2017 title was won by Vietnam’s Tam Hoang Luu.
Mrs Universe 2017 was the 40th annual Mrs Universe pageant which was organised in the African continent for the first time with the theme – Empowering Women. Creating Change. Mrs Universe 2017 featured 84 married women from all over the world between the age of 21 to 45, who are already doing phenomenal work to uplift and enhance their local communities through charity work, business development and global trade opportunities.
By winning the Mrs Universe Lovely 2017 title, Shilpa has become the first married woman from Central India to win such a major title. During her journey at the Mrs Universe 2017, Shilpa performed ‘Lavani’ on the song ‘Mala Jau dya na Ghari’ in the talent round and prepared the Maharashtrian meal ‘Masala Bhaat’ for the villagers to showcase the culture of Maharashtra. At the grand finale, she showcased the national costume by walking in the competition in lehenga, choli, dupatta and safaa. The fabrics used for making this outfit were made in Nagpur.
Shilpa, who is the managing director and CEO of Akash Furniture Group in Nagpur, has previously participated in other pageants as well and made the city proud. In 2015, she was adjudged as the first runner-up in Mrs India globe held in Yangon Burma and won the Mrs Inspiration title at Mrs India Worldwide held in Thailand. She has also won accolades from time to time for her work as an industrialist. Shilpa gives the credit of her success to her husband Akash Agrawal, whom she says has always stood by her.
Couples from a group/club called ‘The Core’ were spotted having a blast at a ‘Hollywood Oscar Night’ themed party recently organised at Chattarpur Farms in Nagpur. The party was hosted by Rupali and Dhiraj Agrawal with Priyanka and Ashwin Jain.
During the night, couples and individuals were given taglines and awards based on their respective personalities. The award categories were ‘Enthusiastic and dynamic couple,’ Modern Romeo and Juliet, etc. After the award ceremony couple danced and sung together to make the night memorable.

Car, that can transform into aircraft in 135 seconds, gets airworthiness certification in Slovakia
‘AirCar’ manufactured by Klein Vision
A car, which can transform into an aircraft in two minutes and 15 seconds, has been issued with a certificate of airworthiness by the Slovak Transport Authority. The hybrid car-aircraft, which is capable of hitting speeds over 100mph (160kmh) and altitudes above 8,000ft (2,500m), is equipped with a BMW engine and runs on regular petrol-pump fuel.
The ‘Aircar’ has been manufactured by Klein Vision, which said that the certification followed 70 hours of flight testing and more than 200 take-offs and landings. Professor Stefan Klein, Founder of Klein Vision, said: “AirCar certification opens the door for mass production of very efficient flying cars.” He added: “It is official and the final confirmation of our ability to change mid-distance travel forever.”
In June 2021, the flying car completed a 35-minute flight between international airports in Nitra and Bratislava, Slovakia. Klein Vision told BBC News that it plans to fly to London from Paris in near future.
Rene Molnar, director, Civil Aviation, Transport Authority of Slovakia, said: Transportation Authority carefully monitored all stages of unique AirCar development from its start in 2017. Transportation safety is our highest priority. AirCar combines top innovations with safety measures in line with EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) standards. It defines a new category of a sports car and a reliable aircraft.
