Sini Shetty of Karnataka has been crowned Femina Miss India World 2022 on July 3 at the JIO World Convention Center in Mumbai. She will now compete in the prestigious 71st Miss World pageant to represent India.
Bharat Gupta styled the beauty queen, who wore a metallic silver gown by designer duo Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna.
Though she was born in Mumbai, the 21-year-old Bharatanatyam dancer represented Karnataka. She began studying Bharatanatyam as a child and performed the arangetram at the age of 14.
Her idol as a beauty queen and guiding star in the journey to the stage of Femina Miss India World has been Miss World 2000, Priyanka Chopra. “When you look up to a person, some of their words get stuck by you. The aspiration value increases. I remember hearing an interview of hers where she stated, ‘Don’t try to squeeze into a glass slipper. Instead, shatter the glass ceiling.’ I have been a fan ever since,” says Simi.
