She might not have won the crown, but 23-year-old Shweta Sharda, LIVA Miss Diva Universe 2023, definitely won all our hearts at the Miss Universe 2023 pageant finale on November 19, held at the National Gymnasium in San Salvador, El Salvador. With a total of 84 contestants, this pageant was grander than ever, and we're proud of how gracefully Shweta stood tall among the others and represented our country, shining bright among the top 20.
In a telephonic interview before the big day, Shweta was excited to be part of the Miss Universe 2023 pageant. "Ever since I won the LIVA Miss Diva Universe 2023 title, I've been waking up with a feeling of gratitude," she enthused. "I'm honoured to be representing India; I think it is a dream of every girl. I feel very privileged and happy to be representing myself and the 1.4 billion people of our country and their dreams."
