Controversy

This edition of the pageant stirred a controversy over Twitter where the Miss India team was accused of selecting 'fair-skinned' women to run in the pageant. People also pointed towards the fact that the girls looked similar and that the diversity of the country was not visible. However, the pageant organizers rubbished all the claims. They also made a video regarding the same topic, stating that many of their past winners and contestant came from all corners of the country and had different ethinicity.
