I wanted to show the world that strength, kindness, and resilience define true beauty," according to Women Fitness India.
In videos shared online, she was visibly emotional as her name was announced, with confetti raining down the stage.
Sherry Singh's mentor, Urmimala Boruah, National Director of UMB Pageants, praised Sherry's journey, saying, "We always believed in Sherry's potential. Her historic win has made India proud and has set a new benchmark for every woman who wishes to represent her country with dignity and confidence."

India's very own Sherry Singh, crowned Mrs Universe 2025, has brought glory to our nation with her grace, strength, and perseverance. A proud moment for every Indian and for the entire UMB Pageants family who stood tall on the global stage once again. The crown is back where it belongs, in India."
The grand finale celebrated more than just outer beauty. Intelligence, compassion, and social responsibility were equally valued.
