Though we have been recently disappointed by the dismal performance of India’s official entrant to the Miss Universe contest, Vasuki Sunkavalli, India has a glorious past of the achievements in the international beauty pageants. The amazingly beautiful and sensuous Indian beauty queens like Sushmita Sen, Aishwarya Rai, and Lara Dutta etc. heralded an era that can be considered golden for Indian presence in the international modelling circuit. Though that wonderful era seems difficult to return, we can have a look at some of the Indian ladies who conquered the world with their beauty and brains.
Reita Faria
The winning of an international beauty pageant by Rita Faria was the glorious incident with which India showed its credibility in the arena to the world. She won the Miss World pageant in the year 1966.But keeping her words and stunning the fashion world she eventually chose medical profession for her to pursue.
