Once bullied for her looks and silenced by anxiety, Roosh Sindhu now stands tall as Miss International India 2025, ready to represent the nation in Tokyo. Her journey—from a childhood TV commercial in Nagpur to walking the ramp at New York Fashion Week, and now clinching India’s crown—is a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and raw ambition. Armed with a degree in Psychology and a passion for mental health advocacy, Roosh isn’t just a beauty queen—she’s a voice for healing, hope, and high fashion. Her story is India’s story: dramatic, determined, and destined for the world stage.
Early Life & Roots
Born in Nagpur and now based in New Delhi, Roosh began her journey in entertainment at just four years old with a TV commercial. She pursued Journalism and Fashion Design, even showcasing her work at New York Fashion Week 2019.
Struggles & Advocacy
Roosh faced bullying and anxiety during her formative years, which later fueled her passion for mental health advocacy. With six years of academic training in Psychology and UK-accredited certifications in psychotherapy, she’s become a voice for emotional resilience. Her work earned her national recognition from the NSUI for contributions to student mental health.
Pageant Journey
After an unplaced run at Miss Universe India 2024, Roosh returned stronger in 2025, clinching multiple subtitles including Miss Photogenic and Best National Costume, before being crowned Miss International India. Her story isn’t just about beauty—it’s about breaking barriers, healing through purpose, and turning pain into power. A true campaign moment waiting to be dramatized, Anjali-style.
