Celina Jaitly won the title of Miss India in 2001. She had recalled her journey of winning the crown on her Instagram handle last year. Celina posted a few throwback pictures of herself on the platform as she remembered her big win. She wrote, "Today on the 27th of January 2001 I was crowned Ms India Universe. It has been such an amazing journey since then. From being a Ms India to being a Ms Universe RunnerUp.... to being an actor, a UN Spokesperson and a mom to 3 handsome boys..."
"My crown always reminds me of the opportunity to continuously strive for becoming the best highest possible version of my self. It reminds me of my uniqueness.. Our uniqueness.. we are all born with our own purpose in life.. So wear your crown and do the best you can. No matter what get up dress up show up and never give up. Being a queen is not about wearing a crown and a gown it's about creating your kingdom, your purpose and not forgetting to give back unto the universe. May all of you find the power within you, the crown that rests in finding your unique life purpose," an excerpt from Celina's post read.
