With this victory, Manika will now represent India at the 74th Miss Universe competition, scheduled to take place later this year in Thailand.

  • Sushmita Sen (1994) – the first Indian to win Miss Universe.
  • Lara Dutta (2000) – second Indian Miss Universe.
  • Harnaaz Sandhu (2021) – third crown for India after two decades.
