At 21, Victoria Kjaer Theilvig made history on Saturday as the first Dane to win the Miss Universe 2024 crown
Meanwhile, it was a disappointing moment for India as its representative, Rhea Singha, did not make the Top 12 cut
Rhea Singha was crowned the new Miss Universe India 2024 in September this year, becoming India's contingent at the Miss Universe 2024 pageant
However, India holds pride in its three historic Miss Universe wins, with each beauty queen leaving a lasting legacy
Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu ended India’s 21-year wait by becoming Miss Universe 2021, winning over 80 contestants worldwide
Lara Dutta won Miss Universe 2000, setting records with the highest-ever score of 9.99 in this pageant's history
Last but definitely not least, Sushmita Sen made history in 1994 as the first Indian woman to win the Miss Universe title
