There is no answer to the beauty of Indian women in terms of beauty. Indian women, who compete with beautiful women from all over the world with their simplicity, have proved their beauty many times at the international level as well. Many Indian women participated in the Miss World contest held at the global level and won the title of Miss World and Miss Universe. This list includes the names of veteran actresses like Sushmita Sen, Aishwarya Rai, and Priyanka Chopra.
Apart from Aishwarya and Priyanka, Yukta Mookhey, Diana Hayden, and Manushi Chillar also participated in the Miss World contest held every year. But do you know that a woman from India also won the title of Miss World who was neither a model nor an actress by profession? She was the first Miss World from India who was a doctor by profession. Let's know about India's first Miss World who is a doctor by profession.
India's first Miss World
The first woman to win the Miss World title was Rita Faria. Rita was born on 23 August 1943 in Matunga, Mumbai. She studied medicine at Grant Medical College and Sir JJ Group of Hospitals in Mumbai. For further studies, she studied medicine at Kings College Hospital in London.
Studied from Medical College, Mumbai
During her medical studies in Mumbai, Rita's friends advised her to participate in a beauty show. Rita participated in the Miss Bombay competition organized by Eve's Weekly Magazine and took this competition as a challenge.
Won the title of Miss World with borrowed clothes
After becoming Miss Bombay, she also won the Miss India competition. She got a chance to represent India in Miss World. However, at that time she neither had a passport to participate in the competition nor clothes and makeup items for the competition.
Rita borrowed swimsuits and saris from her friends and left for London. Rita, who was studying medicine in India, not only participated in Miss World without any training but also won the title of Miss World.
