Pushpika De Silva exits the stage after her crown was snatched by Mrs. World.
During the crowning ceremony for Mrs. Sri Lanka, Mrs. World Caroline Jurie from Sri Lanka took off the crown from the winner, Pushpika De Silva’s head, and injured her head while doing it.
Caroline June justified taking away the crown by saying that the winner was divorced and only married women are allowed to take the crown as per rules and hence she will be forwarding it to the first runner-up.
