Divita was the Miss Diva 2nd Runner-Up at the competition last year, and she participated again this year to win the coveted title.
In an interview earlier, Divita revealed that she traveled a lot while growing up because her family had to live across cities within the country. Divita said this is the reason why she considers being adaptive as one of her biggest strengths because she faced changes and endured challenges while growing up. As told to the daily, her motto has always been “never fear change, embrace life and live each moment to its fullest.”
Her biggest ambition is to be involved with humanitarian organizations and create value through honesty and conviction. Her one true wish is to abolish nuclear weapons and warfare. She said, “Wars can never be justified, and it’s always the innocent people who are displaced and suffer the greatest losses.”
She considers Sushmita Sen, actor and Miss Universe 1994, as her biggest inspiration. Our congratulations on her win!
