JAMMU, Dec 17: Daughter of J&K, Anisha Safaya wins Aesthetic title at Universe 2018 and secured place for India in Top 25 bringing proud to her country. The glamorous event took place in the city of Cebu, Philippines on Dec 10, 2018. From the 88 countries being represented, Anisha secured a place for India in the top 25. The top 10 are yet to be announced and Anisha holds high hopes to be part of that list.
On the Mrs Universe 2018 platform, Anisha was representing the delicate yet fierce, classy yet alluring Indian women. Her aim was to showcase the rich art and cultural heritage of India to the world.
At her orientation, Anisha chose to represent Jammu & Kashmir in India, the state she was born and raised in. She shined in a black pure crape silk gown with Kashmiri hand embroidery (aari work), accompanied by hand made pure pearl jewelry from BHZ Jewelers, the official sponsors of her jewelry.
Anisha's finale look was a true representation of grace and determination of women who can rise from ashes; who is delicate yet fearless. The gown was masterfully designed and created by Mamta Motwani.
Anisha says, "It was a honour to represent India at Mrs Universe 2018 and I am happy that I could introduce the rich heritage of my country to the whole world. I thank everyone who has been part of my journey - my mentors, designers, trainers, my family, my friends and my husband Mitesh Solanki, who has been supporting me hand in hand through my journey. Special thanks to Nikhar Jivani (@Amouryourface) for being my official make-up partner and skincare trainer, Juliana for fitness goals, Cocoaberry team for pageant training and Melvyn Noronha for bringing the best out of me."
The biggest inspiration in her life is her mother, Usha Safaya, who raised her as a single parent. "Life was extremely difficult after dad died but mum taught me the lessons of resilience and determination. I can rise from ashes because she has encouraged me to do that and create my own future with honesty and hard work", says Anisha. |
