Dubai, Jun 21 (IANS): Miss India US Monica Gill was crowned Miss India Worldwide 2014 here Friday night. The second place went to Miss India Switzerland and third to Miss India Bahrain.

More than 40 contestants of Indian origin settled in various countries across the globe between the age of 17 years and 27 years, unmarried and citizens, residents, or born in the country they represent, participated in the Miss India Worldwide pageant.

The finale happened at the Al Raha Beach Resort, Abu Dhabi in UAE where Gill was announced as the winner. She was crowned by Miss India Worldwide 2013 Nehal Bhogaita. Being hearing impaired, Bhogaita is the first differently-abled contestant to have successfully come away with the crown in the competition’s history.

This year, all the participating girls arrived in Dubai on Sunday from countries including Australia, the US, the UK, Canada, Kenya, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Sweden and the Netherlands.

The pageant included rounds like evening gown, Indian dress, a talent contest and question-and-answer sections.

The winner took home a cash prize of $8000 and various sponsored gifts, including photo sessions and modelling assignments apart from the crown.

    why don’t people appreciate what efforts go into taking part in a contest, how easy it is for anyone to comment and take away the credit from a person who has won it. if you think you are capable enough or you think other girls in Mangalore or anywhere are much prettier and smart then by all means don’t you think they should also have participated in the contest.
    Dont take away someone’s hard work, appreciate it, it takes immense preparation, guts and confidence to face the crowd, judges etc.
    To the mother of the winner, congrats to you for standing out to the comments written here, whatever it is your daughter has won and this win will make her more confident in life and open new horizons in her life, let the other bark and that’s what they are apt at.
