Her Story
Veena was born and raised in Chiang Mai, Thailand, to an Indian Sikh family. A 27-year-old Thai citizen, she is fluent in English, Thai, and Russian. Standing tall at 178 cm (5'10"), she graduated in Liberal Arts from Thammasat University in Bangkok.
Her multilingual abilities allow her to express and share her thoughts with a wider audience, especially concerning her relevant advocacies. Veena strongly believes that beauty pageants are no longer solely about outer beauty, but they also provide a platform for women to showcase their talents, discuss their advocacies, and grow in confidence.
"Be An Ally, Not A Bully" project is dedicated to fighting against school bullying. Veena herself was a victim of severe bullying in high school, facing judgment based on her weight and not fitting into society's beauty standards. This experience motivated her to advocate for acceptance, respect, and appreciation of people's differences.
Her calm confidence, soft-spoken voice, effortless energy, and friendly personality make her the ideal representative for Thailand in the upcoming Miss Universe pageant in El Salvador.
