Miss World runner-up Parvathy Omanakuttan is open to good offers in Bollywood but right now she wants to go on a long vacation to "calm myself".
"I am looking for a career in films but have not really planned my future as I first need to go on a long vacation to calm myself. However, I hope good roles come my way," Parvathy told PTI here.
The 21-year-old beauty queen, who narrowly missed the title earlier won by the likes of Rita Faria (1966), Aishwarya Rai (1994), Diana Hayden (1997), Yukta Mookhey (1999) and Priyanka Chopra (2000), at the pageant held in Johanesburg, attributed her inability to win the crown to the "luck factor".
"I did my best," she said, adding that missing the title by a whisker was a disappointment. Parvathy said she would continue with her modelling assignments. Describing the experience of the Miss World campaign as overwhelming, Parvathy said she made many friends during the period.
The Mumbai girl, who hails from Kerala and loves home made food, felt her success at the Miss World pageant was like a middle class dream come true.
Parvathy said she plans to visit the Taj Mahal and Trident hotel, site of the November 26 terror attacks, to pay homage to the victims and martyrs. Her father is an employee of the hotel. Parvathy, who lost the title to Miss Russia, returned home from Johannesburg to a huge welcome in the wee hours yesterday.
