The Miss Universe India 2024 finale was a spectacular event, showcasing some of the most inspiring and talented women from across the country. The finalists not only dazzled the audience with their beauty and grace but also shared thought-provoking perspectives on important issues during the Q&A session. Their statements reflected the depth of their understanding and passion for making a difference in the world.
Archana Bhavsar, when asked about preserving India’s cultural heritage amidst globalization, emphasized the importance of embracing both tradition and modernity when asked. She said, “I believe India is a very civilized and diverse country, and the diversity and culture are what we are known for. As we step into a new generation, it’s important to carry our culture alongside while also having the essence of a modernized culture.“
Chhavi Verg opened up about her personal definition of beauty when asked, referencing a powerful quote by Martin Luther King Jr.: “One day we may not be judged by the color of our skin but by the content of our character.” She candidly shared her struggles with colorism, explaining how growing up, her dusky skin made her feel underconfident. However, as she matured, she realized that beauty is about character, resilience, and growth, not just physical appearance. “When I realized these things, I saw the beauty within me, and I’m so grateful to be standing with all of you today,” she added.
Pranjal Priya spoke passionately about climate change when asked, quoting, “When the last fish is killed and the last tree is cut, that is when man will realize we cannot eat money.” She highlighted the importance of sustainable practices and the urgent need to protect the environment. Prajal emphasized that human rights are meaningless if nature, which sustains life, is destroyed.
Rhea Singha, when asked which historical figure she would have dinner with, chose Ahilyabai Holkar. She admired Holkar for her leadership and empowerment of women centuries ago, a time when feminism was not even a concept. “My advocacy is about skilling up individuals, especially youngsters who lack the power of communication, and Ahilyabai Holkar was powerful enough 300 years ago to uplift women, making her a true inspiration,” Rhea said.
Ruopfuzhano Whisowhen asked about the challenges women in India face today, particularly focusing on the rising fear due to assaults and rape cases. She shared her heartbreak over the many voices that have been silenced, but also expressed her determination to encourage women to speak up. “If I can use this platform to empower women to stand for justice, to be true and strong, we can make a safer world for the women of India,” she concluded.
Each of these powerful statements was a reflection of the strength, intelligence, and compassion of the Miss Universe India 2024 finalists. Their voices resonated with the audience, leaving a lasting impact and a strong message for the future.
