Miss Universe Rajasthan 2026 Anshika Choudhary Eyes National Crown
State titleholder from Sri Ganganagar says her preparation is now centred on the Miss Universe India contest.
JAIPUR: Anshika Choudhary, who was recently crowned Miss Universe Rajasthan 2026, says her focus has shifted to representing the state at the national Miss Universe India pageant. The 22-year-old from Sri Ganganagar set out her preparation plans and goals in remarks shared after the state-level result.
The interest in her ambition is partly regional. Rajasthan produced the reigning national winner, Manika Vishwakarma, who was crowned Miss Universe India 2025 in Jaipur and is, like Choudhary, from Sri Ganganagar. That recent record has drawn attention to the state's contestants, though no link between the two beyond a shared hometown has been established.
'A stepping stone, not a destination'
Choudhary described the state win as an opening rather than an endpoint. "Winning Miss Universe Rajasthan 2026 was a dream come true, but I see it as a stepping stone," she said in remarks following the result, adding that her focus was now on the national contest, where she intends to represent Rajasthan.
