‘20 Years Later & A Few Dress Sizes Bigger’: Neha Dhupia Celebrates 20 Years Of Winning Miss India
As a way to mark '20 Years Of Winning Miss India', Neha has penned a heartfelt note along with a series of photos on Instagram.
New Delhi: Neha Dhupia began her career as a model and hasn't looked back since. Neha attended the Miss India pageant 2022 on Sunday as a jury member. This year marks the 20th anniversary of her crowning as Miss India. As a way to mark the occasion, Neha has penned a heartfelt note along with a series of photos on Instagram.
In the first photo, Neha Dhupia is decked up in a glimmering gown and a crown. She seems to be delivering a speech. There's a photo of her family smiling, followed by a photo of her parents. The actress also posted a photo collage of herself from the past and the present. The pictures were taken during the recent Miss India 2022 pageant grand finale.
Her heartfelt note read: "20 years that went by in a flash … but if I shut my eyes and think , all I have is gratitude in my heart. I did nt think that it would be possible to wear this crown on stage again and relive one of the most precious moments of my life with my most precious people."
She further wrote, "20 years later I stood taller, stronger, more experienced and a few dress sizes bigger :) … but most importantly I stood for every little girl who dares to dream and work hard towards it, for every daughter who wants nothing more than to make her parents proud , for every partner who basis their relationship on love and equality and for every mother who wants to live her dream and wants nothing more than to have her children by her side as she does that … sometimes in life even if we don’t have a crown … we all have our sparkle … #shineon …Love Miss India 2002 -2022".
Love-filled remarks from Neha Dhupia's fellow actors and fans have deluged her Instagram post's comment area. Soha Ali Khan wrote, “Hear hear ! Well done neh you really can have it all,” while Sophie Choudry wrote, “Beautifully said Neh!! Very proud of u. Shine on.”
