At above 60 years of age, Aarti B Chatlani from Bengaluru has proved that age is just a number and beauty has little to do with it. The 62-year-old was crowned the title of Grandma Earth at the Grandma Universe pageant held in Bulgaria. The sexagenarian was the first one from Bengaluru to take part in this pageant and passed through three rounds, the national costume one, a talent round and the crowning ceremony. Grandma and Granddaughter’s Fashion Faceoff Is Taking Instagram by Storm!

Talking about it and sharing her happiness at the win, she told New Indian Express, "I wish every grandma out there gets to experience this." For the first round, she chose to go traditional with lehenga and bridal jewellery. For the talent round she did a dance performance which showed a grandma running around to fulfill the needs of her grandchild. She mentioned that her efforts got appreciated since she took pictures of grandkids on stage and used a lot of props too. Brazil's 79-Year-Old Granny Turned Lingerie Model Helena Schargel, Wants to Encourage More Older Women Into Sexy Fashion (Check Pics).

The national director for Woman of the Universe who selected Chatlani as a delegate for the pageant said that she definitely lived up their expectations. While she tried her best, it was quite unnerving for her when other grandma competitors were comparatively "tall and fit." But it was her husband who motivated her to stay and continue and cherish the experience of just a pageant. Her entire family, in fact, has been supportive throughout her preparation for this competition. They made a point to watch the ceremony live via a video call. As Chatlani happily joked, "They are feeling on top of the world. Or Earth, I must say."
