Corner, PriscillaRising actress in the theatre/wife of Robin Corner
Corner, RobinChampion Jockey
Corner, SaraFemina Miss India-World 2001
Born in Calcutta, Sara Corner, comes from an Anglo-Indian family and has studied and lived in Bangalore for about 19 years. Sara Corner, Femina Miss India-World 2001, firmly believes that she has the grace, quietude and beauty of a giraffe - the animal with which she most identifies. "When I won the crown, my first thought was that I'd done my parents proud and overcame a challenge," she says, recalling the big moment. And the biggest part of that challenge, Sara feels, was to keep reminding herself and believing that she was a winner - whether she won or lost the crown.
