Sheilaja gave credit to her three children who always believe in her, her best friends Inderjeet Kaur and Roohi Sharma, who inspired her to be part of this prestigious contest and also to her father-in-law, Maisnam Ibohal Singh, her parents Maibam Ibomcha Singh and Maibam ongbi Radhesana Devi who always support her in every endeavour.
Lastly, to Irengbam Angabala, who helped her with the Potloi for the ethnic round.
Excelling at beauty pageants is not something new for Sheilaja, having been crowned Miss Manipur in 1997, Miss Kut 1995, Miss Phouoibi 1995 and Miss Beautiful Hair (Miss North East '95) .
She is extremely grateful to her late grandmother Hourungbam Nupimacha Devi who cared for her hair with the traditional Chenghi which has led her to win the coveted Best Hair title twice.
She will be representing Manipur in Mrs India next year.
She says, "Age is just a number.
Keep your dreams alive" .
