"Rhea Singha Crowned Miss Universe India 2024 in a Magical Ceremony, Celebrates with Coldplay’s ‘My Universe’"

Rhea Singha has been crowned Miss Universe India 2024, marking an unforgettable moment in her young career. The grand finale of the prestigious Miss India competition took place on Sunday, September 22, in the royal city of Jaipur, where Rhea outshone 51 other finalists to claim the coveted crown. The glittering ceremony reached its climax when Miss Universe 2015 Urvashi Rautela passed the crown to Rhea, symbolizing a continuation of the rich legacy of Indian beauty queens. Rhea captivated the audience, looking ethereal in a shimmering peach-golden gown that illuminated the stage.

What made her winning moment even more memorable was the celebration that followed on Miss Universe’s official Instagram page. The page chose the perfect anthem to accompany Rhea’s victory—Coldplay's hit song "My Universe", a collaboration with BTS. The track, which has inspired millions around the globe since its release in 2021, seemed like a fitting tribute to Rhea’s universal appeal and her celestial rise in the pageant world. The celebratory post took fans by storm, with many admiring how the song choice added depth to the emotional victory.

Rhea herself couldn't resist joining in on the excitement. She shared the joyous moments of her crowning on her own Instagram Stories, reposting clips from various sources, with one particularly moving post also set to "My Universe". The music resonated deeply, not just because of her win, but also because Coldplay is currently making headlines in India. The British rock band has a series of highly anticipated concerts in Mumbai as part of their Music of the Spheres World Tour 2025, scheduled for January 18, 19, and 21. The tickets, which went live on the very day of Rhea's crowning, sparked a frenzy among fans, leading to long virtual queues and even a temporary crash on BookMyShow, the ticketing platform. In response to the overwhelming demand, Coldplay added a third show in Mumbai, amplifying the excitement further.

In an interview with ANI, an ecstatic Rhea expressed her gratitude, saying, “Today I won the title of Miss Universe India 2024. I am so thankful. I have done so much work to get to this level where I can consider myself worthy enough for this crown. I am so inspired by the previous winners.” At just 19 years old, Rhea has achieved a remarkable feat, standing tall as one of the youngest winners in the competition’s history. Alongside her, Pranjal Priya took the title of 1st runner-up, while Chhavi Verg was named 2nd runner-up. Sushmita Roy and Ruopfuzhano Whiso rounded out the top five as the 3rd and 4th runners-up, respectively.

Rhea’s journey to the crown is as inspiring as it is impressive. Originally from Gujarat, she is not just a beauty queen; she’s a multifaceted talent. An accomplished actress and a TEDx speaker, she has already amassed over 40,000 followers on Instagram. Rhea’s win now propels her onto the global stage, as she prepares to represent India in the Miss Universe 2024 competition, which will take place later this year in Mexico.

With her newfound title, Rhea joins the ranks of illustrious Indian women who have made their mark on the international pageant circuit. She looks poised to follow in the footsteps of legendary Miss Universe winners from India, such as Sushmita Sen and Lara Dutta, whose grace and poise have left an indelible mark on the world stage.

As Rhea sets her sights on the upcoming Miss Universe 2024 event, Coldplay is set to make their own grand entrance in India, igniting even more excitement among fans. Their concerts in Navi Mumbai are poised to be monumental events, and just like Rhea’s meteoric rise, their music will continue to unite and inspire people from all walks of life. In the end, whether it's Rhea's crown or Coldplay's soaring lyrics, the universe seems to be aligning for something truly magical in India.
