Chennai-based doctor bags Miss India runner-up title, greeted with celebrations at airport
Chennai, May 2
Sree Advaita, a 24-year-old doctor by profession, has made her city proud after she secured the second runner-up title at the 61st Femina Miss India pageant recently held in Mumbai.
The young achiever from Chennai returned home to a warm welcome at the airport, where supporters and well-wishers gathered to celebrate her success.
Advaita has been actively involved in dance, modelling, and medicine. Her journey at the pageant has drawn attention for the way she carried herself with confidence and grace throughout the competition.
Speaking about her achievement, the young doctor shared her happiness about finishing in the top three. Calling herself a "dancer, model, and a doctor," she said she felt proud of her performance on such a big stage.
"I am a dancer, model, and a doctor. I am happy to have secured the second position in the competition held in Mumbai," she told reporters stationed outside Chennai airport.
She also spoke about her inspiration, saying she has always looked up to former Miss World Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Sree Advaita said she dreams of achieving success across different fields, just like her role model.
At the same time, she shared a small note of disappointment about missing out on the top title. She said that finishing as runner-up means she will not be able to take part in the Miss World pageant, something she had hoped for.

Waiting at the airport with garlands and banners – that's Chennai's love for you! She's a role model for young girls everywhere. Medicine and beauty, what a combination! ❤️
It's inspiring to see someone balancing a medical career with pageantry. But I wonder if she's planning to practice medicine alongside modeling? Hope she doesn't abandon her medical passion completely.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is also a former doctor-turned-beauty queen. Sree Advaita is following in legendary footsteps. Hope she goes international soon – Miss World calling! 🌟
I'm a little sad she only got runner-up. She's so talented! But hey, second place in Miss India is still a massive achievement. And she's just 24 – the world is her oyster! 🐚✨
Respect to her for being honest about her disappointment. It shows she's ambitious and not just happy with second place. That hunger will take her far. All the best, doctor! 🩺👑
