In an immensely proud moment for India, Haryana's Nishtha Dudeja has become the first Indian to win the prestigious title of Miss Deaf Asia at the 18th edition of Miss and Mister Deaf World - Europe - Asia Beauty Pageant 2018.


Nishtha has proved to the world that disability is not a roadblock towards success. She took to Twitter to announce the news and express her happiness.

 

Nishtha, who is now the first Indian to have won the title, said that she faced stiff competition from contestants from China, Thailand, Taiwan, Israel, and some notable others.


The diva, who was born deaf, does not think of herself as being differently-abled. Rather, she chose to take a chance in the field of beauty.


“I want to thank my parents for their consistent support who were always there to help me. Now I want to help the deprived people even at the cost of my comfort. I believe that the differently abled people don’t need pity. They only deserve equal opportunities to prove themselves,” Nishtha, who has returned to India now, said.


The 23-year-old Panipat girl is a commerce graduate from Venkateshwara College, Delhi University, and presently pursuing MA in economics from Mithibai College, University of Mumbai. Prior to this title, Nishtha had also won the Miss Deaf India title on February 26 this year in Jaipur.


She is also the brand ambassador for Sivantos India Pvt Ltd. (Formerly Siemens hearing Instruments Pvt Ltd.), the world’s leading brand of hearing aids.
