Not Bollywood, but keen interest to act in plays: Miss Diva runner-up Neha Jaiswal

Neha Jaiswal, LIVA Miss Diva 2020 runner-up, says she will take up the opportunity the pageant has given her to do social work and doesn't see herself acting in Bollywood.

The 23-year-old model, who hails from Pune, was crowned Miss Diva Runner-up by Roshni Sheoran at a ceremony last week.

Neha said she feels nothing but gratitude for the honour.

"The dream that I saw for years has come true for me so I feel a sense of gratitude and will continue to feel so. It's a huge platform and I feel determined to make the most of it. It's time to get working," Neha told PTI.

When asked if acting in a Bollywood film is on her mind, the 23-year-old said, "Not Bollywood but it's theatre that I take keen interest in. Would definitely want to explore acting in plays and theatre.

"My intent to enter a beauty pageant was always to be able to add value to the lives of people. I see the Miss Diva runner-up title as a great opportunity to reach out to people and take up social work and activities, since I have the backing of resources and a platform like this."
