"I'm someone who deeply resonates with embodying the essence of a modern woman while maintaining a profound connection with the traditions that define my identity," reflects Sini Shetty, Femina Miss India World 2022.
All eyes are fixed on her as she prepares to represent India at the prestigious 71st Miss World Grand Finale, which the country is hosting after 28 years. In this pivotal moment, she wholeheartedly embraces what she deems to be the most enriching chapter of her life.
Originating from the vibrant state of Karnataka, this 23-year-old's connection to the homeland and its practices and traditions runs strong. It was her maternal grandfather, a member of the esteemed royal Kanjaru lineage, who instilled in her the values of serving beyond self and remaining rooted in one's heritage as she progressed through life. "Taking these qualities to the Miss World stage is incredibly significant for me because I'm not just representing myself and what I stand for; I'm also representing the sentiments of 1.4 billion people," she reveals.
