I understand that winning an international beauty title is not easy. But this is not impossible. The entire team from the Dunia Mega Bintang Foundation worked together so that Sahida could enjoy the competition and also get enough preparation," he added.

Ivan revealed that the Miss Aura International 2023 competition is equally important as other prestigious beauty pageants, because participants here also have to introduce their countries at the international level.

In addition to the short preparation in Indonesia, Sahida has also been continuously trained by the Dunia Mega Bintang Foundation team while in Turkey. Even Ivan, who flew to Turkey to provide direct support, admitted to being impressed by the determination and efforts of the 22-year-old girl.
"I am amazed by Sahida. Because she has been consistent with her performance during the quarantine period, she is not tired at all. That's why I, along with the Creative Director of Dunia Mega Bintang Foundation, Dardo Siregar, and Abi Putra, intentionally flew to Antalya, Turkey to give full support to Sahida," explained Ivan Gunawan.
