As the 72nd Miss World pageant draws near, Miss India World 2023, Nandini Gupta, is preparing to represent India on the global stage. But for Nandini, this journey is about more than just competition—it’s about continuing a legacy started by the inspiring women who came before her.
In an interview with The Hans India, Nandini spoke about how much she has changed over time. She admitted that she used to be very shy and nervous, especially when speaking in public. “I was the kind of girl whose hands would tremble on stage,” she said. But watching videos of past beauty queens like Priyanka Chopra, Aishwarya Rai, and Sini Shetty gave her the courage to grow.
These famous women helped shape Nandini’s confidence. Priyanka Chopra’s strong self-belief, Aishwarya Rai’s elegance, and Sini Shetty’s calm and graceful presence became her role models. Their examples gave Nandini the strength to believe in herself and step into the spotlight.
“I’ve taken a lot of inspiration from them to be where I am today,” Nandini added. “And I truly believe there’s a little bit of the essence of every Miss World and Miss India that I carry within me.”
Today, Nandini is proud of how far she has come. From being someone who was afraid to speak up, she is now ready to represent over 1.4 billion Indians at the Miss World pageant. Her story is a powerful example of how inspiration and determination can help someone grow and achieve their dreams.
