Indian-origin beauty pageant participant, Shree Saini, reportedly collapsed just before the Miss World America final night in Las Vegas.
Her mother, Ekta Saini, took to Instagram requesting fans to pray for her daughter's speedy recovery. She said that she was called backstage after the ambulance arrived to take Shree to the hospital. "We have been in the hospital since 9 p.m. They are doing cat scan, EKG, etc. Doctors just told me that less than 1 percent of people at age 12 have a Pacemaker. So, Shree will stay in hospital for a ‘cardiac arrest watch.’ Prayers requested," she said.
Shree has reportedly survived severe facial burns, constant bullying, and a heart surgery for a pacemaker at age 12. She always dreamt of becoming Miss World.
The Punjab-born girl has studied at Yale University and Harvard University, where she also created an app on emotional health at Stanford University.
