Her journey through the various stages of the competition highlighted her commitment to excelling in all areas, from public speaking to personal grooming, while also embracing the values of confidence and compassion.

The platform of Miss India has historically been a stepping stone for many iconic figures, and Nikita Porwal now stands poised to continue that legacy, representing India at the global Miss World pageant later this year.
A Night to Remember: The Grand Finale in Mumbai
The Femina Miss India 2024 Grand Finale, held in Mumbai, was a night of glitz, glamour, and grandeur. As the entertainment capital of India, Mumbai provided the perfect backdrop for the event that saw the participation of celebrities, former beauty queens, and renowned personalities from the fashion and entertainment industry.
The event not only celebrated beauty but also the empowerment of women, as the pageant organizers had embarked on an extensive nationwide talent search to bring the best and brightest from across the country to the stage.
The competition began with 30 state winners, each representing the diversity and talent from all corners of India. These young women underwent rigorous training sessions and grooming drills, designed by industry experts to bring out the best in them.
From mastering the art of walking the ramp to honing their public speaking skills, the contestants were put through a series of challenges that tested their mental and physical endurance. The pageant was more than just about physical beauty—it was about strength, intelligence, and the ability to inspire others.
Among the finalists, Nikita Porwal stood out with her poise and grace, while Rekha Pandayy, representing Union Territories, secured the first runner-up position, and Ayushi Dholakia from Gujarat finished as the second runner-up.
The three women were celebrated not just for their beauty, but for their unique talents, resilience, and ability to carry themselves with dignity on a stage that reaches millions across the world.
The evening was further enlivened by a stunning performance by former Miss India Sangeeta Bijlani, who took to the stage and walked the ramp, reminding the audience of the enduring allure and impact of the Miss India pageant.
Other notable guests included actor Neha Dhupia, who has long been associated with the competition, as well as popular television personalities like Raghav Juyal and Anusha Dandekar, who was part of the esteemed jury panel.
The glitz of the night, however, was only a prelude to the anticipation of who would carry forward India’s legacy in the world of beauty.
With past Miss India winners like Aishwarya Rai, Priyanka Chopra, and Manushi Chhillar having left an indelible mark on the global stage, the crowning of Nikita Porwal symbolized not just a victory for her, but also a continuation of India’s representation in global beauty platforms. The audience, judges, and participants celebrated the new queen, whose journey was just beginning.
Representing India on the Global Stage: A Legacy of Excellence
Winning Femina Miss India is about more than just a title—it’s about carrying forward a legacy that has, over the decades, elevated Indian women on the world stage. Five of India’s former Miss Indias have gone on to win the prestigious Miss World title: Aishwarya Rai in 1994, Diana Hayden in 1997, Yukta Mookhey in 1999, Priyanka Chopra in 2000, and Manushi Chhillar in 2017.
Each of these women brought not only their beauty but their intellect, compassion, and grace to a global audience, serving as ambassadors of Indian culture and values.
Nikita Porwal’s win positions her as India’s next hope for the Miss World crown, and the entire nation is looking forward to seeing how she will represent the country on the international stage.
The training and preparation she will undergo in the months ahead will be crucial, as she gears up to compete with contestants from around the world. From public speaking and charity work to mastering the art of diplomacy, the road ahead will be both challenging and rewarding for Nikita Porwal.
Beyond the pageant, the Femina Miss India platform offers a unique opportunity for young women to contribute to social causes and make a difference in society. Previous winners have been involved in humanitarian efforts, using their influence and fame to advocate for various issues ranging from education and healthcare to women’s rights and environmental conservation.
Nikita Porwal’s own aspirations, as she has indicated in her interviews, are to use her platform to inspire and empower young women, especially those from smaller towns like her own hometown in Madhya Pradesh.
The Miss India Organization, celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, has also launched a special anthem titled “Rise of Queen” to commemorate the rich legacy of the pageant.
This music anthem is a tribute to the many women who have come through the competition and gone on to achieve great things. Available on streaming platforms worldwide, the anthem encapsulates the spirit of the competition and its commitment to uplifting women from all walks of life.
Nikita’s journey as Femina Miss India 2024 is just beginning, but her crowning moment is already a testament to the power of perseverance and self-belief. As she steps into her new role, she carries with her the hopes and dreams of millions of young women across India who look up to her as a symbol of strength, resilience, and beauty.
let’s enjoy few years on earth with peace and happiness….✍🏼🙏
