When we mention the beauty of the modern Indian women – a unique blend of deep-rooted tradition and a powerful pioneering spirit – the name Rhea Singha immediately stands out as a true representative. Crowned Miss Universe India 2024, she is not only a prominent face in the fashion industry but also a shining example of intelligence, determination and the well-rounded growth of India’s young generation today.
Journey from Ahmedabad to the scintillating crown
Born and raised in Ahmedabad, the cultural heart of Gujarat, Rhea Singha showed a strong sense of purpose from a young age. She began her journey in the modelling world at just 16. But it was not just about fashion shows or shoots – Rhea quickly made her mark with a series of beauty titles. She was crowned Diva’s Miss Teen Gujarat 2020, placed in the Top 6 at Miss Teen Universe 2023 and achieved global recognition after winning the Miss Teen Earth 2023 title. Her beauty, confidence and stage presence drew attention worldwide.
September 2024 marked a turning point in her journey. In Jaipur, Rhea was crowned Miss Universe India after standing out amongst 50 other talented contestants. This achievement was more than a celebration of her beauty and grace – it was a result of her consistent hard work, self-belief and the powerful dreams of a young woman determined to shine on the world stage.
A perfect blend of intellect and the arts
Unlike many others who are admired only for their external beauty, Rhea Singha stands out for her intelligence and thoughtful perspective. She is a two-time TEDx speaker and is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Performing Arts at GLS University. There, she continues to grow by balancing her love for the arts with a strong commitment to education.
At the Miss Universe India finale, during the Q&A round, Rhea was asked, “If you could have dinner with a historical figure, who would you choose?” Without hesitation, she named Ahilyabai Holkar – the iconic 18th-century queen known for her compassion and visionary leadership. Her answer greatly impressed the judges and left the entire audience in silent admiration, reflecting the maturity and depth of someone wise beyond her years.
Fashion, style and personal charm
Standing at 1.70 meters tall, with a well-defined face, deep expressive eyes and a radiant smile, Rhea Singha naturally draws attention wherever she goes. What sets her apart, however, is her unique sense of style – a perfect blend of Indian tradition and modern fashion. On the night she was crowned, Rhea wore a stunning metallic gown with two large bows on the sleeves. The look not only enhanced her silhouette and showcased her personality but also reflected the spirit of today’s woman – strong yet soft, confident yet graceful.
Beyond the world of pageants, Rhea is a familiar face in advertising campaigns. She has worked with renowned photographers like Praveen Bhat to create striking, artistic photo shoots that continue to strengthen her presence in India’s fashion industry.
Ambassador of Indian beauty on the global arena
In November 2024, Rhea Singha represented India at the world’s most prestigious beauty pageant – Miss Universe, held in Mexico. With strong preparation and unwavering determination, she secured a place in the Top 30. Her performance continued India’s remarkable six-year streak of success on the international stage.
After the pageant, Rhea took part in several cultural exchange events, including a visit to the Taj Mahal with Miss Universe 2024, Victoria Kjær Theilvig. These activities helped bring Indian heritage and beauty closer to the global community.
