A lot of beauty pageants are organised every year but not all are focusing on empowering women and giving them a platform to outshine as an individual. And this emerging gap has been fulfilled by a beauty pageant named Mrs India International Queen, where women from all over the world got a chance to rise and shine with their hidden and remarkable talents.

The biggest Entertainment, fashion and modelling event of the year was judged by none other than the Miss World Asia 2019/Miss World 2nd Runner Up 2019- Miss Suman Rao, and Mr World 2016/Mr India 2015- Mr Rohit Khandelwal! The event took place on 2nd, 3rd and 4th December at Crowne Plaza in Rohini, New Delhi.

Driven towards empowering women, the event included various exciting rounds like introduction, Talent Round, Interview Round, Traditional Wear round and Evening Wear Round. This huge opportunity was provided by the host and organiser Ms Ankita Saroha who herself is a National and International level winner of Mrs India 2017 and Mrs International Global 3rd Runner Up 2018.

Talking about her idea behind the launch of such an amazing event, she says, “ After marriage, a new chapter begins in everyone’s life with new responsibilities and lots of expectations. In order to make everyone happy within the family, women most of the time forget themselves and their happiness, their talents remain hidden most of the time. The pageant journey helps them realise their worth, their strength, their value and gives them a platform to showcase their talent to the world. The pageant journey gives identification to every woman, it is a platform to voice their opinions, to showcase their talent and get recognised. Altogether it is a journey to be your real self without a mindset to please everyone, a journey to live a life of your dreams”.

The winners received a prize money of Rs. 1 Lac and extensive international and national media coverage.
