Indore: On a sunny Saturday in Indore, Miss India World 2024 Nikita Porwal shared her inspiring journey with young women from smaller cities. Her homecoming coincided with the announcement of state-level auditions by Femina Miss India in Indore and Bhopal, making it a special moment for her and the aspiring participants.
Porwal's path to success was not an easy one. From playing the role of Sita in Ujjain's Ramleela for five years to now preparing for Miss World 2026, she has come a long way. Her determination and drive were fueled not only by her own ambition but also by the support and courage of her family.
One particular challenge that stands out for Porwal is her first zonal round in Delhi. As someone from a smaller city, the thought of competing outside of her comfort zone was intimidating. However, she overcame her fears and went on to make a mark in the pageant world.
But Porwal believes that her success story did not begin on the runway. It began in her hometown of Ujjain, where she chose to pursue theatre at a time when it was not considered a conventional path for girls. Despite facing societal pressure, her parents were her biggest supporters. They never questioned her choices and believed in her before anyone else did.
Porwal emphasizes that her journey is a testament to the power of empowerment. For her, empowerment is not just about employment, but also about the ability to make your own choices. She chose acting as her path to empowerment and has never looked back since then.
Even after winning Miss India, Porwal continues to prioritize her acting career as it allows her to grow as a person. She also wants people to understand that beauty pageants are not just about perfection, but about authenticity and being true to oneself.
Despite her strict discipline while preparing for Miss World 2026, Porwal admits to indulging in her guilty pleasure whenever she visits her hometown. Sarafa's famous night food lanes hold a special place in her heart, and she never leaves Indore without savoring its delicious offerings.
In an exciting development, Madhya Pradesh will now hold auditions in Indore and Bhopal, replacing the previous zonal rounds in Delhi. This change will provide more opportunities for aspiring participants from smaller cities like Ujjain, Jabalpur, Ratlam, Khandwa, and Gwalior.
Dr. Subodh Shrivastava and Nikhla Gupta, the promoters partnering with Femina Miss India in MP, are thrilled about this new development. They have also made registration links available on the official websites, encouraging young women to take a step towards their dreams.
