the girl who spoke about virginity was way ahead and was true and honest with her thoughts and that made sense, Sonal couldn't answer single parent question is because she had this in her mind that virginity is important and somewhere it gives away that she doesn't understand the concept of single parenting and couldn't state on why and how it is okay to be single parent.

The right girl one. I was totally rooting for Neha. She was disciplined, and took the course very seriously. She gave it her all. She worked out the most. She did not drink. She did not smoke. She did not focus on a boyfriend. She was completely dedicated. Medha was a gossipy, self centered brat. Sonal was too insecure, unassertive, and not sharp enough with questions. She came off as weak and timid. They were all beautiful, but they were not all strong polished confident women. Neha was.

People often talk as if 'changing yourself' is a bad thing. It is not. Changing yourself into something you don't want to be (that is not authentic) is a bad thing, yes. But improving yourself, and becoming who you always wanted to be (so it is an authentic change) can be very positive. You will be happier, healthier, and more succesful in life. People are born with certain tendencies and features, but everyone is shaped by how their personality traits interact with the world around them. This also means that everyone have the ability to choose a specific direction in life if they want. Being a beauty queen is as much a skillset that is learned, as it is features you are born with. No-one is born with these skills; they might have a 'talent' compared to some other people, or have been shaped by their environment/learned some of the skills. But just because you didn't learn these things as a child, it doesn't mean you can't aspire to learn them, or shape yourself to be more that way. As long as it is a change that YOU desire, it is a positive one, because you are becoming a better version of yourself. :)

This captures Indian culture so so well. Not just that but the feeling of having dreams and there being only one winner. It shows how similar and how different we are. It's also interesting to see the juxtaposition of these pageant queens and others in society who are not lucky enough to perhaps follow their dreams.
not a single girl with dark skin here. There are Indians that are as dark or darker than many Africans and they are beautiful too. It's a shame.

Bruh, I think your perception of Indians is incredibly distorted by the Western Media. Indians are a highly mixed race. We have Roman, Mongolian, Dravidian, Aryan, African and many more Ethnicities mixed within us. A lot of people in India are Moderate, or Light Skinned. And it's a natural Skin Tone. However, I'd still say that a large part of Indians do have Dark Complexions. It isn't about Skin Colour, it's mostly about background. Most (if not all) of these women come from Middle Class, to Upper Class Families living in Metropolitan Cities. Fashion Industry was still looked a bit down upon. Priyanka Chopra (Miss World 2000) who went on to become an extremely talented and successful actress cane from a Middle Class Family. Her father was a Doctor, and Mother is a Pediatrician. She wasn't exactly Rags to Riches, but yeah. She has seen a lot of Financial Advances through her Career. Earlier than her, it was Aishwarya Rai, who won Miss World in 1994. She was a South Indian, and her skin was of Lighter complexion. I still consider her the prettiest woman on the planet (regardless of Skin Colour). The biggest was definitely Sushmita Sen. She won Miss Universe 1994 (at the age of 18). She was the first Indian Woman to win the title. And she's the wisest Celebrity I've known. She had a considerably Darker complexion (compared to her runner ups). So yeah. It's just about that. A lot of Indians have a wheatish Complexion (which is moderate). Most of these Fine Women fall into that Category. And please realize, this was almost 20 years ago. A lot has changed since then, and there's even more Diversity.

But oh, if only these people knew that there are people much darker than this in India , its just that: All the actors in films are light All the contestants in pageants that go to international competitions are light because *they have been selected from many in India, and of course the Indian judges would eliminate the darker people*

Medha seemed like she was being annoying at 25:55 but she was actually protecting the other girl from revealing too much in front of the camera.
If Medha focused on bettering herself rather than bitching about others she would at least achieve something in this contest. Sonal was always nervous. Neha had what it takes. This isn’t just about beauty. You need to have a personality and have great answers to the questions also.

Of course they're trying to bring the girls as close as possible to a (questionable) beauty standard, but they're not being cruel or disrespectful to them, and the fact that they have a psychologist helping them love themselves is really admirable!

Things have changed darling and they are changing.....its 2018 now...please don't mind... actually i also think its so ironical that they want all of then to fit certaing beauty standards and then also to embrace their imperfections...
At 30:00 when Medha calls Neha and Gauhar Ice Vaginas.. I burst into a chuckle. Is it surprising that the 2 women everyone claims didn't mingle and focused entirely on the contest are the 2 most recognisable faces in this entire series and seem to have a career we can recall that goes beyond this pageant.
proof that hard work can have a big pay off. Neha disciplined herself here and it literally changed her life in an amazing way
I found the juxtaposition of the young contestants exercising in the gym and the woman doing hard physical manual labour very interesting.

Miss India organisation has improved a lot over the years . You can clearly see there was no northeast contestant while now the north east states government put a genuine effort in their grooming and stuff . Beauty with a purpose carries A LOT importance. The only thing that bothers me is that they now make Bollywood actors the final judges. Miss India 2020 runner-up Manya Singh has my mad respect. In 2017 manushi chillar brought miss world crown to India after 17 years , last time it was Priyanka Chopra.

Ladies who act like the first girl never win and give up after a few pageants because the word gets around with judges of these.

This was a very small glimpse at this level of pageantry. I've held a state title for both American & an International pageants. The stress & fatigue is overwhelming. The rules forbid one to smoke or drink at any time. The activity schedule is packed from early morning into evening hours. We did not have any down time like these girls. It was a luxury to squeeze in some sleep. It was not an 8 hr sleep either. I enjoyed my pageant events, however, people do not realize how daunting it can be. You are watched & scrutinized during the whole process. This plays a huge role of who ends up on stage finale night.

Neha was extremely dedicated & deserved it. But just based on my heart, I found Sonal so beautiful, down to earth & charming. I like that she represents a modern girl in her frankness & wanting to have fun & go with the flow, she's confident but she still gets nervous or flustered sometimes & that's relatable. I love how her crooked side smile gives her a unique feature that's memorable & charming. She's cool & reserved. She's hot & cute at the same time. Idk I liked her sm!

It's unfortunate that the views expressed by some participants in the documentary are presented as forward thinking - trying so hard to justify them. I'm not sold! Have they seen contestants from a Miss USA pageant? All different colors, shades, hair textures, looks, race etc.
Ugh the bikini walk seems awful. I'd throw up. Imagine being scrutinized like a piece of meat while people assign numbers to your body and personality.
