In a resplendent celebration of culture, elegance, and empowerment, Samruddhi C Mahakalkar clinched the Miss Category title at the prestigious Peagents World Miss India Contest, held over two days in the picturesque town of Mirik, Darjeeling.
Mahakalkar captivated both the audience and the judges during the National Costume Round, where she embodied a bold and fearless Maharashtrian woman. Her powerful portrayal paid homage to the courageous women of Maharashtra — leaders and warriors who stood their ground and forged their paths without waiting for rescue.
In addition to her main title win, Samruddhi also earned the coveted subtitle of ‘Miss Elegant’, lauded for her exceptional grace, striking stage presence, and charismatic personality.
Her journey to the crown was supported by two key mentors — Rashmi Chatterjee, who provided unwavering encouragement and precision training, and Aarti Lalchandani, Director of the pageant organisation, whose visionary guidance inspired Mahakalkar throughout the competition.
With her remarkable blend of tradition, modernity, and resilience, Samruddhi Mahakalkar has not only brought immense pride to Maharashtra but also emerged as a role model for young women across India.
