Guwahati: West Bengal’s Reshmi Deokota has secured her place as a finalist in Miss Grand India 2025, representing her state with grace, conviction, and a powerful story rooted in perseverance. Hailing from Siliguri and carrying her Nepali heritage with pride, Reshmi is not just a beauty queen in the making—she’s a dynamic model, actor, mentor, and the Director of SR Modeling Studio, where she trains aspiring talents in runway and professional presentation.

Her foray into modeling began at the age of 15. Over the past nine years, Reshmi has carved a niche in the fashion industry, working with national and international brands, and earning recognition as the Best Model of North Bengal. Despite the challenges of emerging from a small-town background, she credits her family’s unwavering support—especially her mother’s belief in her future—for propelling her forward.

Representing West Bengal as the sole state finalist has been, in her words, “a surreal and empowering experience.” Her journey has inspired countless young individuals across the region, many of whom look up to her as a symbol of determination and purpose. Now among the 32 national finalists, Reshmi views this opportunity as more than a pageant—it is a platform to inspire and advocate for meaningful change.

Beyond modeling, Reshmi is a trained artist and animal lover who finds solace in painting and volunteering for animal rescue. Her holistic approach to life reflects her deep emotional strength and compassion—qualities she brings to the competition.

Culturally, she intends to represent her Nepali roots through her attire, values, and presence on the national stage. “Culture is not just something we wear—it’s something we live,” she says, and she’s committed to showcasing that with pride.

In a heartfelt message to the people of West Bengal, Reshmi urges the community to stand behind young dreamers and support them with pride. “Your encouragement can light the fire of confidence in someone’s heart and help them soar,” she shares.

What sets Reshmi apart is her deep introspection and self-belief. Calling herself her greatest inspiration, she emphasizes the transformative power of resilience. Every challenge, from emotional hurdles to the demands of pageantry, has strengthened her. Her preparation for Miss Grand India is rooted in discipline—physical fitness, mental awareness, and emotional alignment.

As she moves forward, Reshmi Deokota remains a striking example of how talent, discipline, and self-belief can elevate one from a small town to the national spotlight. West Bengal now watches with pride as she aims to bring home the Miss Grand India crown.
