TUNIS, Mar.20 (SEE)- She started modeling and engaging in beauty contests at a very young age, acknowledging that beauty alone will never secure her a place on the modeling scene.
Miss University 2018 and Miss Rosa Gallica Rania Rezgui is one of Tunisia's most successful models. She managed to make a good reputation not only on the modeling arena but, also in beauty contests.
In an exclusive interview with Sada el-Balad English (SEE), Rezgui said that the most significant feature, leading to success, is time management. "If you managed your time adequately, you will be able to find your way to success," she said, adding that a lady has to be self-confident with her appearances and her inner qualities.
Studying at the English University in Tunis, Rezgui believes that the education and knowledge feed the soul, noting that beauty contests aren't only about the external beauty but, about the internal one as well.
Apart from being well educated, Rezgui said that a contestant has to be glamorous, charming, fit and tall to be able to compete in beauty contests.
"Contestants should be tall, attractive and capable of speaking 3 languages to be able to join beauty contests," Fashion Journalist Ahmed Adel noted.
The Tunisian model said that judges in beauty contests frequently ask tough questions, including ones on politics, world peace, history, or even economics. "Once a judge asked me about the independence day of Tunisia" she said.
"I eat healthy food including plenty of salad, vegetables, rice, as well as fruits, which is an important source of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants to keep my body in shape," she added.
"Potatoes and Sugar are forbidden" she asserted, adding that drinking a lot of water, and skimmed milk keeps you in shape.
She repeated that vegetables are a very important part of an overall healthy diet, including Lentils and carrots, which include low calories. "When it comes to seafood, I prefer grilled fish, which is fat-free," she said.
Rezgui works out 3 days a week on a regular basis, performing cardio and weightlifting exercises. "To keep in shape, i perform cardio and weight lifting exercises," she said, adding that she is 176 cm tall and weighs 55kg.
As for makeup, Rezgui favors Chanel, MAC Cosmetics, Anastasia Beverly Hills, and Make Up For Ever's products.
Rezgui does a lot of hobbies in her free time including dancing, acting, playing the piano, and when it comes to her favorite brand, it is none but the only Spanish fast fashion clothing and accessories, Zara.
"My favorite celebrities are Indian Aishwarya Rai and Italian model and actress Monica Belucci," she revealed, adding that her role model is Palestinian- American model Geddi Hadid.
Rezgui has never visited Egypt before but, quite luckily, she is having an event at the mother of the world this summer. "I would be fascinated to keep SEE updated about my summer visit to Egypt, which I am very excited about," she said.
"I wish one day, I would become miss world or a faculty member instructing young students," she said, adding that she would pick knowledge over fame and stardom.
When asked about her favorite quote, Rezgui said that there are so many wonderful quotes to choose from. One of my favorite quotes is for American television host Johnny Carson: "If you're happy in what you're doing, you'll like yourself, you'll have inner peace. And if you have that, along with physical health, you will have had more success than you could possibly have imagined.”
