Shweta Sekhon was crowned Miss Universe Malaysia 2019 at the finale held on 7th March 2019 at the Majestic Hotel, Kuala Lumpur as she became the official representative of Malaysia in Miss Universe 2019. Shweta gained a lot of attention as she was called on stage at the finale night in her stunning National costume as everyone assumed she won the award. However, Gazini Ganados of Philippines won the award and this actually caused a lot of stir after the finale. Nonetheless, Shweta was applauded for her stunning performance by everyone including Miss Universe Organization. Being a fluent speaker and a confident orator could have worked in her favour if she would have gotten a chance to be a part of Top 20.
