YUKTA MOOKHEY
Born : 1979
Yukta Mookhey, the 5 feet 11 inches tall Miss
World 1999, belongs to a middle class family in Mumbai. The twenty year old
lady won the title from among 94 talented contestants in a keenly
competitive pageant.
Born in 1979 to
parents Inder Lal and Aruna, Yukta's earlier education was in the Gulf
because her father's work took the family there. Later settled in Mumbai,
she graduated in zoology from Kelkar College, Mumbai. The talented Yukta has
won a number of essay and public speaking competitions and wanted to pursue
a career in mass communications and computer graphics. On the personal
front, Yukta has a passion for music and has studied Hindustani classical
music for three years. She likes to go out with friends for a movie or check
out on good food in the latest eating joints in town.
Interested in modelling she did a few ramp shows for Avon cosmetics, L'oreal
and the likes. It was her mother Aruna who runs a grooming workshop at Santa
Cruz, who encouraged her to enter the Femina Miss India contest.
Yukta firmly believes that it is not just beauty but intelligence that made
her what she is today and that anybody can achieve whatever he/she really
sets their mind on. This straight forward, serene girl thinks inner beauty
is what matters most. She won $ 100,000 and a year of travel around the
world in the pageant.
Two years after she won the title, Yukta is made her debut in Bollywood, in
the Hindi film 'Pyaasa' directed by editor-turned-director A. Muthu, but the
movie bombed and no other films are in sight.
