Adline Castelino was crowned Miss Diva Universe 2020 on 20th February 2020 and soon emerged as one of the front runners for the title as she showcased immense dedication, confidence, and determination towards bringing the crown back home. Adline has been vocal, active, and working hard to make her spot at the top position of Miss Universe and has already received appreciation for her advocacies that encourages leadership qualities in women by conducting leadership programs, in providing essentials like food supplies, sanitizers, and face masks for ‘Desire Society’, a non-profit voluntary organization that cares for children infected with HIV in India. She supported Smile Train's campaign to end the sigma around COVID-19 and has initiated fundraisers for the Akshaya Patra Foundation, to help provide meals and packed grocery kits to the marginalized and low-income segment of the society, comprising daily wage workers, migrant laborers, people at old age homes and night shelters.
Adline has been very consistent with her photoshoots as well where she showcases her sense of fashion subtly and elegantly along with the confidence that is beautifully captured by the photographers. The diva has been making progress and preparing for the competition as she is working on her walk, communication skills, interacting with famous personalities, and finessing her abilities which she believes can help her win the competition.
Recently, Manasa Varanasi from Telangana was crowned Miss World India 2020 on 10th February and has emerged as one of the potential winners for the Miss World 2020 crown. Manasa performed exceptionally well throughout the competition and managed to impress not only the panel but the audience too. She grew up from being a shy child into a source of power who has now earned a chance to represent the country at Miss World 2020.
Even though she was crowned only a few days ago, she has been active in her interviews and with her beautiful smile managed to impress everyone she meets. The diva who is inspired by Miss World 2000 Priyanka Chopra Jonas feels that she wants to create opportunities for her just like her and be the inspiration young girls of the community could look up to. “It's her versatility and strength that I draw inspiration from," she added.
Now, the 2020 duo who is emerging as one of the strong contenders in their respective beauty pageants has reminded the pageant fanatics about the two powerful and inspiring duos who represented India at Miss Universe 1994 and Miss World 1994 and Miss Universe 2000, and Miss World 2000 respectively. The divas included Sushmita Sen and Aishwarya Rai in the 1994 batch and Lara Dutta and Priyanka Chopra in the 2000 batch, not only won the titles for India but had a massive impact on the aspiring young models across the world with their performance and confidence throughout the competition. The followers of beauty pageants have made a strong assumption that history could repeat itself with the crowning of Adline and Manasa and two of the big four international titles could be crowned to the Indian beauties.
Adline and Manasa are expected to have the same impact on the younger generation and perform well at the competition to win the title for India. Their preparations have started in full swing and both the divas have been preparing to finesse their skills and abilities for the final event.
