A surprising and dramatic moment was witnessed at the recently held Mrs Sri Lanka 2021 competition. During the crowning ceremony, the former Mrs World and outgoing Mrs Sri Lanka, Caroline Jurie announced Pushpika De Silva as the winner. But after a while, Caroline came on to the stage and said, "There is a rule that you have to be married and not divorced, so I am taking my first steps in saying that the crown goes to the first runner-up."

In no time, Jurie walked towards Pushpika and removed the crown from her head with a lot of difficulties as shown in the video. A surprised De Silva couldn't hold back and walked off from the stage as soon as the crown from her head was removed.

Check out the viral video below:

Later on, Pushpika took to her Facebook page and shared a long note regarding the whole incident. She wrote in Sinhalese which roughly translates as "As I write this, I responsibly say that I am not a divorced woman. If I am divorced, I challenge them to submit my divorce papers."

She added, "So, even though that symbolic crown has been snatched from my head, I would like to inform you that I have already taken the necessary legal action for the injustice and insult that has taken place."

Pushpika concluded by writing, "A real queen is not a woman who snatches another woman's crown, but a woman who secretly sets the other woman's crown!!!"
