The 2021 newly crowned Mrs Sri Lanka beauty pageant winner Pushpika De Silva looked as happy as ever up on stage whilst she was waving at her fans until Caroline Jurie who won the pageant back in 2019 interrupted and strode towards the winner and wrestled off the crown that the new winner had just been given, the crown was inspired by a peacock and was made with over 3,000 blue and green cubic zirconia and topaz stones.

She did this allegedly because Pushpika De Silva was a divorcee, which was against the pageant rules, the rules state that you must not be married or divorced whilst in the competition. The event was held at Colombos Nelum Pokuna Mahinda Rajapaksa Theatre it was televised on Sunday, the footage of the incident has been viewed more than a million times on various platforms.
