Meet the winners of Miss India North 2018

After conducting auditions in eight states in the north zone and selecting three representatives from each state, the finale of the fbb Colors Femina Miss India North 2018 co-powered by Sephora and Rajnigandha Pearls was held in a glitzy event at The Leela Ambience Convention Hotel, Delhi, which is an epitome of luxury and one of India’s largest luxury convention hotels.The 24 finalists came prepared to impress the judges, who had a tough time choosing eight finalists who will get an opportunity to represent their respective states at the grand finale in Mumbai, which will air on Colors. The judges for the evening were fashion designer Ashish N Soni, boxer Vijender Singh and actors Patralekhaa and Abhay Deol. While Neha Dhupia, who also mentored the north zone contestants, gave some dhaakad performance on stage, Abhay told the audience that in his upcoming film he is playing a Dilli ka munda. “This is my favourite city and I love coming here. I always feel I belong here,” said Abhay.

Singer Manasi Scott was the emcee for the evening. The 24 finalists surprised the judges with their confidence as they walked the ramp in a collection by fbb. In the next round, they donned shimmering lehengas, dhoti pants and embroidered tops designed by Payal Singhal. What made the evening even more special was a performance by Guru Randhawa, who made his young fans dance to his popular numbers like 'Tenu Suit Suit Karda' and 'Lagdi Lahore'.

The evening concluded with the announcement of the eight winners by Neha Dhupia. “It’s been a great journey and I have big shoes to fill, including that of Miss World 2017 Manushi Chhillar. I interacted with all 24 finalists and some of them are already winners, while some need grooming, some need more confidence, but they all were amazing and I saw a winner in each one of them. I told the contestants that what set Manushi apart was that she was very real and relaxed. So I keep telling them to be real,” said Neha.
