The annual inter-house fancy dress competition was held at Kundan Vidya Mandir (KVM) here today. The competition was presided over by Mrs Neena Khanna, Principal of KVM. The participants were divided into five groups — A, B, C, D and E — on the basis of age groups.
The day’s events commenced with a lot of excitement and suspense. The audience waited with bated breaths for the participants to come on the stage.
First came the participants from nursery and KG classes. The first tiny tot to come on the stage was Vidhushi Jindal of LKG-A who presented Ganesh Stuti. Another eye-catching presentation was that of Vansh Sekhri of LKG-B who was dressed as a snowman. But the most popular item was presented by Muskaan Singh of UKG-C who came dressed as ‘Jassi’. Some of the other popular items were those from Sezal Bathla LKG-F (fairy), Saksham Sood (steel girl) and Anvi Aggarwal LKG-C (mosquito). UKG-A Ojasvi Jain as peacock, Zephorah Gopalan as raddiwala and Mahir Uppal as soldier too mesmerised the audience.
Next came the lot from the primary section. Japinji of I-A, dressed as Shivji, showered his blessings on the audience. Muskan Arora of I-B came dressed as a banjaran. Some of the other impressive items were by Suvani Salhotra of I-D (Indian woman), Shobhit Khullar of I-E (Guru Nanak Dev), Gorika (Sonia Gandhi) and Malika of II-B (Japanese girl).
Viren Sood of III-B, dressed as a WWF wrestler, received immense applause. Garima of III-A had the audience rolling with laughter by playing ‘Hansa Bhabhi’. Mannat Sareen of III-B (reporter) and Rishab Maria of IV-B (alien) also won a big round of applause.
