And the Femina Miss India 2023 is none other than Nandini Gupta of Rajasthan. The 19-year-old took the crown home. Meanwhile, Shreya Poonja from Delhi was announced as the first runner-up and Thounaojam Strela Luwang from Manipur became the second runner-up. Among the 30 state winners, these ladies were chosen as the top three.

Former Femina Miss India 2022 winner Sini Shetty of Karnataka crowned Nandini, who will now represent India at Miss World 2024, while former 1st and 2nd runners-up Rubal Shekhawat of Rajasthan and Shinata Chauhan of Uttar Pradesh, crowned Shreya and Thounaojam respectively.

Nandini Gupta hails from Kota, Rajasthan, and showed exceptional organisational and hospitality skills when she was a little girl. She was motivated by this encounter to seek a business management degree. The 19-year-old is of the opinion that failures are essential in defining one's identity. So as she sets out on the voyage of a lifetime, she is determined to face all the difficulties, setbacks, and rejections that may come her way. She is aware that difficulties will certainly emerge, but she is ready to face them head-on by viewing setbacks and failures as teaching moments. Nandini is dedicated to conquering challenges and succeeding.
