  • At a time when Indian women were still expected to be behind veils, a young girl (Reita Faria) surprised everyone by walking the ramp in a swimsuit. She entered the beauty contest as a joke but went on to become the first Asian woman to win the Miss World pageant in 1966. All roads to Bollywood were open to her, but she refused all offers. What did she do all her life after the competition? And what does she look like today at 80? Watch the full video to find out.

    Proud of this woman to refuse fame and instead choose to serve humanity by being a doctor. Praise be to GOD for helping her make the right call.

    Her smile today still resembles her smile on Miss World stage. I think she did the right thing and followed her heart. May more people in todays world could do the same.

    I remember her being crowned as a beauty queen when I was a teenager in the ninth grade (in Pakistan). I read the news in the newspaper and still remember the day. It was her unusual charm that captivated my teenage heart and is still fresh in my memory. I would talk about her to my classmates while I was a medical student. I worked in Dublin and got a fellowship in surgery in 1987 and if I had known that she was a Dublin resident, I certainly would have expressed my desire to see her. Anyway, I am still her fan. Long live Reita Faria❤

    She had the most beautiful figure. Even her walk was perfect and she moved like a goddess. She had no modeling training. No one taught her how to walk or how to carry herself. She had natural grace and class. She really stood out from the other girls. She deserved to win. 👑 🌼 🌻 🌸 🪷 💐

    As usual, the western TH-camrs and media totally mischaracterise everything.
    First of all, beauty contests never were and increasingly has nothing to do with looks or beauty.
    There were always much more beautiful women in movie industry and/or modeling.
    There have been more beautiful women in Indian modelling and movie industries since the industry took off in the 1920s.
    There is no universal Indian culture.
    Urban people were not veiled ever and there were elites imitating British and European customs since the 18th century in India.
    She is of Goan ancestry.
    Goa is a former Portuguese colony. Portuguese made it a point to proselytize and ask Portuguese men to marry Indian women to make them full Portuguese.
    Goan Catholics were not from Indian culture by a stretch and had a Portuguese culture.
    Even today, their personal laws follow Portuguese Civil Code for things like marriage, divorce, inheritance and even income tax calculation.
    If Goan Roman Catholic women show any Indianness, it has happened in the decades after India conquered Goa in 1961 and assimilated Goans.
    I'm sure in those days Miss World was not a famous event and since India didn't even had television (TV service started on a novelty basis in Delhi in 1967 and in major metros in India in the 1970s. and was only a single government owned channel till 1991) nobody had heard of the term Miss WOrld except the foreign travelled elite and high society club class.
    I'm sure no one in India heard of her and she was never any influence in Bollywood, because it had its own stars since the 1920s.
