Speaking to us about this pageant, Mrs India International Queen 2026 winner Dhanashri Joshi Deshmukh says, and we quote:

“The best thing about this platform is that at the age of 21 and 73, both ages walk together on the same platform—not only competing but celebrating each other’s transformation and journey.”

She said that each woman should confidently say,

“I am the Queen of my life”

no matter if she resides in a metro city or a village.

Maybe there was yet another Queen Mira Gadhia, who had won the Classic Mrs India International Queen 2026, came from Dubai to participate. She said,

“The moment we registered, the victory started. We got trained in self-defense, financial independence, presentation skills and communication skills. We became queens even before the final.”

It touched the right note with Bollywood actor Neelam Kothari Soni, who awarded the prizes to the winners.

Talking about her views on the platform from the dais, Actress Neelam Kothari Soni appreciated the platform for motivating women to pursue their dreams irrespective of their age and marital status.

“Everybody always claims that after marriage, everything about your life comes to an end and you must think only about the wellbeing of your family. But there is no age of self-assurance and desire.”

Ms. Neelam continued by saying that: 

“Whatever you do, do it with your heart and soul. You should be passionate about whatever you are doing since there are going to be highs and lows.”

Those individuals who participate in the said competition show how much the Mrs India International Queen pageant has gained in popularity. As we can see from the facts mentioned above, it began with just 30 contestants in 2020 and has grown to 91 participants in 2026.
