Miss Grand International Controversy: Indian model and beauty queen Rachel Gupta is once again in the headlines. But this time, it's not due to a victory or a new title, but a controversy that has exposed a darker side of the glamorous world. Rachel Gupta, winner of 'Miss Grand International 2024,' announced on social media that she had decided to relinquish her crown. However, shortly after this announcement, the pageant organization issued an official statement claiming that Rachel was terminated from her position.
'Miss Grand International 2024': Triumph Followed by Controversy
Rachel Gupta, from Jalandhar, Punjab, won the prestigious title in October 2024 at the 'Miss Grand International' competition held in Thailand, beating out contestants from 70 countries. Achieving this feat at just 20 years old was not only a personal victory but also a proud moment for India.
Less than a year after this triumph, she announced her decision to relinquish the title. In an emotional statement shared on Instagram, Rachel wrote, "Being crowned was a dream come true, but the following months have been filled with broken promises, mistreatment, and a toxic environment. I can no longer remain silent."
Personal Struggle vs. Professional Duty
In her statement, Rachel hinted at releasing a video soon, revealing the full truth. She apologized to her followers, stating that this decision was not easy but was necessary for her self-respect and mental health.
On the other hand, the Miss Grand International organization refuted Rachel's claims, stating in its official statement that Rachel Gupta was being removed from her position with immediate effect due to failure to fulfill her responsibilities, unauthorized participation in outside projects, and refusal to attend an official visit to Guatemala.
