The event, held on April 7th in Gurgaon, saw the participation of transwomen from across the country. Victoria also won the award for the best ramp walk.
Victoria’s win marks a significant milestone for Arunachal Pradesh, as she becomes the first transwoman from the state to win a beauty pageant. Her achievements in the pageant world have been remarkable, having previously won the titles of Miss Trans Global India 2020 and Miss Super Glam of India 2020. Additionally, she was the first runner-up in the Miss Rainbow Pride of India 2022 competition.
