Rhea Singha, a 19-year-old from Gujarat, has been crowned Miss Universe India 2024. She triumphed over 51 finalists at the grand finale held in Jaipur, Rajasthan. Rhea is now set to represent India at the global Miss Universe 2024 pageant, which will take place in Mexico later this year.

Beyond her pageant success, Rhea is an actress, TEDx speaker, and a student of performing arts. She has also ventured into fashion design, where she is known for blending cultural and modern influences in her creations. During the event, she impressed the audience with her elegance and confidence, particularly in the swimsuit and costume rounds, where she donned stunning outfits that symbolized her connection to Indian heritage.

The crown was passed to her by Miss Universe India 2015, Urvashi Rautela, during an emotional ceremony. Rhea expressed immense gratitude for the hard work that led her to this achievement, acknowledging the inspiration she draws from past winners

Rhea Singha was crowned Miss Universe India 2024 on Sunday and will now represent India at the global Miss Universe 2024 pageant. The finale event took place in Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan.

Miss Universe India set the background song of their Instagram post to British rock band Coldplay’s iconic track “My Universe.” This choice of music was fitting, as Coldplay had been trending in India over the weekend due to tickets for their upcoming concert in India going on sale on Sunday

At the same time, thousands of Coldplay fans were disappointed by the extremely long virtual queues on BookMyShow, which initially crashed due to overwhelming traffic. Following this, Coldplay announced a third show for the Mumbai leg of its “Music Of The Spheres World Tour 2025,” citing “phenomenal demand”
