Shocking footage from the Mrs Sri Lanka contest that shows Mrs World yanking away Mrs Sri Lanka’s crown has gone viral.
On Sunday, April 4, beauty queen Pushpika De Silva, 31, was crowned Mrs Sri Lanka 2020/2021 onstage at the Nelum Pokuna Mahinda Rajapaksa Theatre, Colombo, with the glittering ceremony broadcast on national TV. However, her joy was shortlived.
The shining crown had barely been placed on Pushpika’s head when 2019 winner and current Mrs World, Caroline Jurie, ripped it clean away, apparently causing her fellow pageant queen an injury.
