I love Shah Rukh Khan, says miss South Africa Nicole Flin


She greets you with a polite Namaste as she settles down for her interview. Nicole Flint, all of 22, crowned Miss South Africa for the year 2009 -2010, is currently touring India.

The pretty lass, who has been exposed to various cultures, thanks to her stint at various beauty pageants is extremely excited to be in India. "I love India and everything about the place. It's so beautiful to see so many colours around. The people here are so warm and hospitable. I already dread going back."

Ask her what she best likes about India and she is quick to add that it's a toss up between the country's spicy food and films.

Flint is a self-confessed foodie and admits that she has been gorging on the spicy Indian cuisine ever since she landed here. "I have had some of the most amazing kebabs and chicken here," she says smacking her lips.

As a global ambassador, Flint thinks it is important to stand up for issues that need support. The causes closest to her heart include education and rehabilitating the homeless.

"I am a very family oriented person. Also, I feel education is really important. I am what I am, because of my education."

Flint, admittedly, swears by Hindi films. She squeals, "I am a huge fan of Shah Rukh Khan and I have seen Devdas and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. He is incredibly huge in South Africa. I am hoping to meet him," she says, adding, "I just switch off the television if Shah Rukh Khan is dying in a film. It is too much of a heartbreak for me."

Films aside, she absolutely enjoys watching cricketer Sachin Tendulkar score.

The model is hoping to come back to India and, if given a choice, get married here. "Oh, I'd love to get married in India. My father would be the happiest if I got married to an Indian guy."

Ask her if she has a special someone in her life? "Well, I have a guy, but he didn't come with me to India. If I had my way, I would get married to Shah Rukh," she winks
