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.
