That's a good assessment considering the quality of this batch. But in my opinion Miss India Org usually messes up either the winner or the runner up positions, so I am glad that they're trying to sort out Miss Diva and hoping that whichever front runner doesn't win joins MD sooner or later. I also hope that the girls realise that it's an easier pageant to win and definitely worth a shot.
Haryana – Meenakshi reminds us of some of the beauties from Mexico like Silvia Salgado or Laura Elizondo. She is a dentist and over the days of the pageant, has won over the hearts of followers through her personality, beauty and overall performance.
Delhi – Gayatri is glamorous, beautiful, well-educated, well-spoken, sophisticated and has an aristocratic vibe about herself. She can do well at any international pageant she is sent to! Probably the most “pageant ready” contestant at this moment!
Madhya Pradesh – Over the days, if there is one contestant who has made a maximum shift in terms of impression among followers, she has to be Meena. Born and brought up in Uganda, this girl has an exotic face, the kind of which is highly appreciated in the western world. Someone said and we have to agree, she is like those pretty girls from Ukraine or Russia, who have rocked international pageants in the recent years. She also has an amazing catwalk, which will help her in the international pageant she is sent to and even in general during her reign as Miss India, if she wins.
Jharkhand – Stefy has been in the pageant world from quite some time. She has done teen pageants and is already in the movie world. The experience shows in everything she does. It is like, she is already in the world, of which most of the other contestants have just got a glimpse yet.
Punjab – When one of the TGPC experts posted about Femina Miss India in an American forum, the contestant who received mostly positive feedback was Anna. She is typically like the state winners who make it to the Top 10 in the finals of Miss USA. Her body and walk are impressive and she speaks well too.
Manipur – Nimrit kept her head high where her state win caused controversy and there were personal attacks made against her on the internet. None of that affected her performance at Miss India. She has been steady as a rock, focused on her goals; such mental strength is one of the things that winners usually demonstrate, irrespective of the competition.
Meghalaya – Winner of the talent round! Mary possesses the qualities that can make her a strong competitor at the Miss World pageant. Mary’s drawback is that she simply doesn’t stand out in the group and needs some time before she can leave a mark on the map of pageantry.
Mizoram – Lily is a delight to watch and her smile can easily light up any stage. Would love to see her represent India on international stage someday.
Karnataka – One of the tallest and well-spoken contestants this year! Bhavana is a raw canvas ready to be painted into a beautiful picture. All she needs is to find some confidence and right kind of styling.
West Bengal – Probably the best speaker in the batch! If they give Prarthana the microphone, the crown is hers to lose.
Maharashtra – Mehak is a stunner but she is not meant for pageants. Hopefully, the Miss India Organization transforms her from a model to beauty queen because we need girls like her to represent India internationally.
Andhra Pradesh – Her beauty and personality are something that will be truly appreciated at a pageant like Miss Universe. So Shreya, if you are reading this, do try Miss Diva next year if you fail to win a crown at Femina this year. Remember, Miss Universe is the pageant where you deserve to be.
Nagaland – Ropfuzhano is so exotic!! She is one of the rare kind of girls who can be molded into a pageant girl as well as a runway model.
Uttar Pradesh – Himanshi has the face for international pageants but not the drive. She needs a lot of polishing before she gets chance to represent India internationally.
Tamil Nadu – Her transformation from the regionals till now has been amazing. Anukreethy has nailed every single pic. Hoping to see her go far in the contest.
Miss World India 2018- Meenakshi Chaudhary- Haryana
At this juncture of the pageant, Meenakshi Chaudhary from the home state of the reigning Miss World, Manushi Chhillar, seems the safest choice for a pageant like Miss World. Meenakshi apart from having tall corporeal frame and fine facial features seems ready for Miss World pageant when it comes to Top Model Round and Sports Round. Meenakshi won two gold medals in the sports challenge at Femina Miss India 2018 and was also a Top 6 finalist at Miss Active. Coming from an army background, where she lost her father few months ago, Meenakshi despite of all the odds has been managing her medical education and pageant with complete conviction. The 21 years old beauty has been a state level badminton and swimming sportsperson and is currently working on her Beauty with a Purpose project revolving around the idea of oral hygiene. The edge Meenakshi has over others is her spontaneous personality, and now that she has won Miss Photogenic she has solidified her position in the game. She comes across as more natural than some of the front runners and if crowned as Miss World India, Meenakshi can be moulded into a better version of herself.
Miss Gwand India 2018- Gayatri Bharadwaj- Delhi
Gayatri is one of the most beautiful ladies in the batch. With the beauty such majestic and ramp walk on point, Gayatri can certainly bring home the first Miss Gwand International crown. If sent to Miss Gwand International pageant, Gayatri Bharadwaj can take the legacy of Vartika Singh ahead. Being a medical student, this 22 years old lady is very well proficient in singing, Bharatnatyam classical dance and has been a national level football player. Gayatri is currently working on her Beauty with a Purpose project related to spreading awareness of oral hygiene and ill effects of tobacco consumption. If sent to Miss Gwand International pageant, her soft and subtle personality will help her to join the league of previous Miss Gwand International titleholders like Ariska Putri Pertiwi and Janelee Chaparro as the first Miss Gwand International from India.
Miss United Continents India- Mary Khyriem- Meghalaya
Mary Khyriem is the rare find of Femina Miss India 2018! While some pageant critics believe she is hyped, I say she deserves all the limelight and attention for the right reasons. The most effective tool which Mary possesses in this journey is that she is simply being herself and is not at all trying hard to come across as a front runner. After watching all the media bites and introduction videos, I believe Mary throughout the journey has emerged as highly convincing and genuine, who is living the moment with the approach of a healthy competition. Mary has been open to all suggestions and constructive criticisms, and after getting shortlisted in more than eight important sub-contests like Beauty with a Purpose and Miss Rampwalk, Mary has strengthened her position in Top 3. She won Miss Talented subtitle at both zonal and national level and has also been awarded with the title of Miss Refreshing Beauty.
Stefy Patel- Jharkhand
This beautiful lady has everything to lock her place in the Top 3 and certainly deserves a Top 6 placement. Her stage presence is remarkable and she has one of the best rapwalk styles in the entire batch. Despite of coming from the showbiz background, Stefy has been very warm to her fellow contestants. With the stunning face, positive demeanour and spectacular stage presence like that, Stefy should never be wasted. She is suitable for both Miss Gwand International and Miss United Continents pageants and has the calibre to give great results in any of the aforementioned pageants. She has really worked hard to be in Femina Miss India pageant after many attempts erstwhile, and has everything to turn million heads.
Meena Ahir- Madhya Pradesh
What a beautiful surprise Meena has proved out to be in this pageant. After winning the title of Miss Rampwalk, Meena has turned out to be a very strong candidate in the batch. This beautiful lady was always in my radar when it came to styling sense and posing for the pictures. Scrolling down her Instagram profile, I always believed five years down the lane, Meena is going to be a successful print model for sure. With those photogenic facial features and stunning stage presence, she stands out in all the group photographs and has a body well in shape. If she is to be sent to any international pageant, Miss Gwand International pageant would be a smart choice, where facial beauty, photogenic features and good stage presence is treasured.
Prarthna Sarkar- West Bengal
If I were to chose the most eloquent candidate in the batch, without a second thought my choice would be Prarthna. She is the wisest speaker of the batch and her polished personality shines bright like a diamond when she talks off or on the camera. She won one gold medal in the sports challenge held at Bennett University and has been the All India Best NCC Cadet erstwhile. Apart from that she has also been the Youth Delegate of Russia and has held Governors medal recipient title with utmost pride. She loves painting, singing and photography and has one of the most unique personalities in the Femina Miss India 2018 batch. If Femina Miss India Organization is to crown an unconventional winner for Miss World, crowning a wise and eloquent persona like Prarthna would be a strong move.
Semi-Finalists
Shreya Rao Kamavarapu- Andhra Pradesh
If there is someone who gave the most incredible insights of the Femina Miss India 2018 journey through her social media, it has to be Shreya! I believe, she will win Miss Multimedia title on the grand finale and will make a straight entry to the semi-finals. Her open-hearted and warm nature, outgoing personality and happy to go lucky optimistic aura has made people follow her journey, if not completely adore her. Irrespective of whether she walks home with the crown or not, she is going to be remembered as one of the impressive candidates this year. If considered for an international pageant, it has to be Miss United Continents, where her gregarious personality would be welcomed. Winning an important title like Miss Goodness Ambassador, Shreya has affirmed her prowess.
Lily Darnei- Mizoram
If there is someone who has lived the pageant with utmost liveliness, it is none other than Lily Darnei. She made her grip tight in the pageant right since her getaway goddess video was praised by the pageant fans and critics. Her dainty smile, cheerful and positive aura along with her stronger personality when it comes to Sports Round and Miss Active sub-contest, asserts that she is here to make it big! With the sleek and sexy body and impressive stage presence, Lily is very much suitable for a pageant like Miss Gwand International and if sent to this edition of the said pageant, which is slated to take place in Myanmar this October, Lily with her distinctive north eastern facial features will not only reflect the diversity of India but will also gain enormous social media momentum with her huge fan base.
Anukreethy Vas- Tamil Nadu
Anukreethy shined in the competition right since the live session at Femina Miss India 2018, wherein she was seen talking about the struggles which made her reach at this laudable platform. After seeing her resort wear photoshoot and unveiling photoshoot and after beholding the charm which she embodies while walking the runway, I certainly see the Miss Beautiful Smile winner, Anukreethy, shining on the big day.
Bhavna Jain- Bihar
Bhavna has impressed me a lot in this entire one month. Be it her killer pose and expressions during photoshoot or awe-striking stage presence during the press conference, Bhavna never faded in the crowd. This national level skater has an impressive body language and talks sense whenever she is seen facing the camera.
Anushka Luhar- Gujarat
Anushka solidified her place in the finals by making it to Top 10 of Shining Star and also by giving great shots in the resort wear shoot, glam shoot and the unveiling shoot. Coming from a rich educational background, Anushka comes from the Campus Princess camp and has the aura to shine on the finale.
Aashna Gurav- Goa
Aashna has a great stage presence and an amazing rampwalk. While watching all the ramp videos, Aashna stood out effectively in my opinion, she speaks well and has a magnetic personality to turn heads.
Ruopfuzhano Wiso- Nagaland
Ruopfuzhano is incredibly smart and wise for her age. Being the youngest in the batch, she talks sense and holds maturity to project her personality in an impressive manner.
Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia- Manipur
Throughout the competition, Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia reflected the amalgamation of an impressive styling sense, smart communication skills and polished body language. Being well groomed in advance, Nimrit stood out during many episodes of the pageant.
Sai Kamakshi Bhaskarla- Telangana
Kamakshi comes across as well educated girl, her ideas and words sound intellectual and her personality appears wise and polished. She commands attention whenever she expresses her opinion. She certainly deserves a placement in the semi-finals.
Honourable Mentions
Mehaak Punjabi- Maharashtra
Mehaak has a stunning face and beautiful smile. She comes across as smart, vivacious and chic. Her official live session at Femina Miss India was quite fun and engaging.
Anna Kler- Punjab
Winning Miss Body Beautiful in such strong batch is no cakewalk. Anna comes across as mature and wise lady and has always maintained her splendour at various junctures of the pageant.
Sumita Bhandari- Uttarakhand
I have been a fan of her styling sense and fierce expressions since the beginning of the pageant. As much as I wished to see her as India at Miss Gwand International, I would love to see her back at Miss Diva 2019, improving her communication skills, so that we can cheer for her as India at Miss Universe.
Spandana Palli- Chhattisgarh
Spandana has been very active on social media and has given her best in philanthropic projects. She has worked a lot on her body since her crowning as Femina Miss India Chhattisgarh, and has shown an amazing transformation.
Bhavana Durgam- Karnataka
Bhavana has a beautiful face and a very generous personality. She speaks very well. Her journey has been an interesting one.
Parmila Chhettri- Sikkim
I am in awe with the gorgeous expressions, Parmila highlighted during all the photoshoots. Her getaway goddess video was a bliss to eyes and her social media posts were quite gratifying.
With this, I am signing off my reviews on Femina Miss India 2018, wishing all thirty state representatives good luck with a positive note, irrespective of whether you win the crown or not, you are a queen making it this far. The doors for new adventures are open till eternity, inviting you to foray in ample new fields. Here’s to new beginnings!

Below is the result which I photoshopped together this morning. Top 5 were the highest scorers, middle tier includes the next top 7 scorers and bottom tier includes the next 7 scorers. We were a little tipsy, but i think the list came out fairly good.

Gutted for Meena, Prathana & Sumita I hope these they consider Miss Diva instead.

Kandalog, Gayatri is definitely being projected as the winner, as I mentioned earlier in this thread. I really hope that doesn't happen because I think we have much better choices - especially Meenakshi and Bhavana D. Shreya, Lily and Anukreethy would complete my personal top 5. (But I doubt we'd see 3 Southern belles in the top 5)
