Now, the 25-year-old has penned a note on her journey in the competition. Earlier, Divita won the Miss Diva Universe pageant in 2022 and finished third against former Miss Universe 2020 Harnaaz Sandhu.
“Here’s looking at the next phase of life with a full heart and determined mind. So many personal battles and milestones have been won and I have so much appreciation for my life and the people who pushed me to grow, improve and own myself,” wrote Rai, whose costume for the National Round –‘Sone ki Chidiya‘ — was inspired by the “ethereal portrayal of India as the golden bird, which is a symbol of the wealth of our rich cultural heritage along with the spiritual essence of living in harmony with diversity”.
