By Elizabeth Tinley

Seated on the settee in her Galadari Hotel suite Tatana Kucharova, better known as Miss World 2006, shows no signs of her demanding schedule of international travel and press appearances. In Sri Lanka for a short goodwill tour and to make a guest appearance at last Saturday's Fashion Statement 2007 event, she is a vision of good health and vitality as she settles down to answer the Daily Mirror's questions.
