Mrs. World 2008
Saman Hasnain, the second Mrs. Pakistan World wins three titles for Pakistan in the Mrs. World 2008 pageant.
Pakistan saw the crowning of a new Mrs. Pakistan World 2008 on the 2nd of January 2008. Saman Hasnain, a mother of two lovely boys living in the sunny city of San Francisco, was well aware that if she would win, then she would have to attend international beauty pageants. Hasnain travelled to Russia to compete in the Mrs. World 2008 pageant in June 2008. Mrs. World is an international beauty pageant organized annually as a beauty contest for married women. It is originally based on the Mrs. America beauty pageant. Arranged on lines similar to other beauty pageants, it also lays stress on women's opinion on marriage. It has been organized since 1985. Staying two weeks in Russia, Hasnain performed well on the final night winning three titles for Pakistan: Best in National Costume 2008, Miss Congeniality Runner up 1 2008 and Evening Gown Costume Finalist 2008. Saman Hasnain will be visiting Lahore soon to explore more charitable organizations and hope to build a bridge for the west and Pakistan to do more projects together in the future. In an interview, Saman Hasnain, mentioned that she will utilize her year to show the lighter and moderate image of Pakistan to the world. She also stated that going to international pageants has helped her educate the contestants from all around the world about Pakistan. Hasnain will now be busy preparing for Mrs. Globe 2008 in August 2008 as well as working towards creating The Win Foundation Charity in Pakistan which gears towards women empowerment.
