Rhea Singha from Gujarat was crowned Miss Universe India 2024 in a dazzling night filled with glamour and celebration. The highly anticipated event occurred in Jaipur, where the nation’s brightest talents and beauty icons gathered to witness the crowning of India’s next representative to the Miss Universe stage. Rhea identifies herself on her Instagram account as a "TEDx Speaker| Actor." She is 19 years old and from Gujarat.

The glittering moment was made even more special when Rhea was crowned by Urvashi Rautela, the Bollywood star and former Miss Universe India, with a unique ‘Taj Mahal crown’. The crown, symbolizing India’s rich cultural heritage and the epitome of beauty, was specially designed for this year’s winner. Urvashi, herself an international icon, handed over the mantle with pride, congratulating Rhea on her achievement.

“I am overwhelmed with joy and responsibility,” Rhea said in her acceptance speech. “This title is not just about beauty; it’s about representing India’s values on the global stage, and I hope to make my country proud.”

Rhea wore a shimmering peach-golden dress for the finale. She walked the stage in a metallic red bikini for the swimsuit round and a white, red, and yellow outfit with a veil for the costume round. In her arms, she held a Shivling as well.

With this victory, Rhea will now begin her preparation to represent India at the Miss Universe 2024 pageant, where she aims to follow in the footsteps of previous Indian winners who have made the country proud on the international stage.

India, a nation with a strong legacy at the Miss Universe pageant, eagerly awaits to see how Rhea Singha will shine on the global platform, carrying the hopes and dreams of millions.
