Miss France crowned Miss Universe in Philippines, no Indian in Top 13

January 30, 2017 by BollywoodPresents Team

Beauty Pageant Winners Indians

Miss France has won the 2017 Miss Universe crown in the annual pageant held in Manila, Philippines (Mall of Asia Arena by Manila Bay).

23-year-old dental student, Iris Mittenaere, who hails from a small town of Lille in northern France, did not expect to reach so far and was stunned with the result.

In the final question, the candidates were asked to cite a failure in their life and explain what they learned from the debacle.

“I’ve failed several times in my life, when you fail, you have to be elevated and you have to try again and keep going … I have failed before but for me this is the great first opportunity,” Mittenaere said

Miss India Roshmitha Harimurthy represented India in the contest. However, she failed to advance to the Top 13. Roshmitha is a multilingual student at Mount Carmel College pursuing her Master’s Degree in International Business.
