Miss Universe India 2025 prep in full swing as state-level events begin across the country

India gears up for Miss Universe 2025 as state-level pageants pave the way to July's national finale.

"21st May 1994 #Manila. A historical win that introduced an 18yr old Indian girl to the Universe! - Sushmita Sen"

New Delhi, May 30

The Miss Universe India 2025 pageant is now in full swing, with state-level competitions taking place across India.

Known as one of the biggest and most respected beauty pageants in the country, this year's event has attracted over 50,000 participants.

Finalists from more than 30 cities are competing in over 25 state contests. A total of 51 finalists will be chosen to compete in the grand finale, which will be held in July. The winner will represent India at the Miss Universe global event.

The pageant includes auditions, grooming sessions, talent rounds, and panel talks on social issues. Contestants will also take part in various challenges before the final round.

Here are some of the upcoming key events:

June 2: Miss Universe Madhya Pradesh at Empire Hotel, Bhopal (7 PM onwards)

June 4: Joint finale for Miss Universe Delhi, Haryana, and Uttarakhand at The Grand, Vasant Kunj, Delhi (8 PM onwards)

June 7: Miss Universe Himachal Pradesh at Baantalai Resort, Hamirpur (6 PM onwards)

Each participant is being trained by a team of stylists, makeup artists, choreographers, and designers to help them prepare for the big stage.

Miss Universe India has a history of producing international winners. Sushmita Sen made history in 1994 as the first Indian to win Miss Universe, and Harnaaz Sandhu brought the crown home again in 2021.

Sushmita Sen recently celebrated the 31st anniversary of her win on Instagram. She shared, "21st May 1994 #Manila. A historical win that introduced an 18yr old Indian girl to the Universe!!! Opening up a world of possibilities, highlighting the strength of hope, the power of inclusion, the generosity of love...To travel the world & to have the privilege of meeting some of the most inspiring people...life defining for sure!!!"

"Thank you God, Maa @subhra & Baba @sensubir

So excited for this year's pageant! 🇮🇳 After Harnaaz Sandhu's win, I feel India has a strong chance again. The state-level competitions are getting so competitive now - my cousin is participating from Maharashtra. Wishing all contestants the best! ✨

While I appreciate the glamour, I hope the organizers focus more on the social issues segment. These platforms should highlight real problems facing Indian women beyond just beauty standards. That's what made Sushmita Sen's win so meaningful - her intelligence shone through.

Attending the Delhi finals next week! 🎉 The joint finale for North states sounds like a great idea. Hope they maintain regional diversity in the national finals - we need representation from all corners of India, not just metro cities.

The grooming sessions sound impressive, but the entry costs are too high for middle-class families. Wish there were more scholarships or sponsorships to make it accessible to talented girls from all economic backgrounds. India's beauty comes in all forms!

Sushmita Sen's post gave me goosebumps! 🥹 31 years since that historic win and she's still so humble. That's the kind of role model we need - someone who carries the crown with grace long after the event. Hope this year's winner carries forward that legacy.

Interesting to see smaller states like Himachal getting their own events now. Shows how much the pageant culture has grown across India. Though I wonder if we're putting too much pressure on young women to conform to certain standards of beauty.
