Nice to be part of this discussion and I will upload my MGI 2024 Final Contest video on my channel. Met Rachel, her family, director and other beauty queens. Honestly it was such a great experience and MGI has upgraded to higher standard crowning India as their queen 👑🙏🏻

Great and entertaining discussion! Nice to hear different points of view from a diverse panel of experts. My favorite from the beginning was also India, followed by Spain, Philippines, Brazil and Peru. Yes, I am happy with results!

[@aritrabiswas4865]

This year's MGI show was well organized and sure mgi will get well recognition and respect from all over world after crowning moment except Myanmar. But still good people are there. 😊

[@Moviesnmore-ul3io]

Miss Myanmar must come to terms with the reality of the situation. Many are referring to her as merely a young girl; however, if that is the case, one must question why she was placed on such an international stage. Additionally, Rachel, the winner, is only two years her senior. It appears that the concept of sportsmanship has not been fully grasped, as not everyone can claim the title. While she is indeed beautiful, her performance in the finals did not leave a lasting impression, and her responses during the Q&A segment were satisfactory but not exceptional. Furthermore, she seems unable to celebrate the achievements of others. It is essential for her to accept the outcome. Her reaction following the coronation may have contributed to the unusual behavior exhibited by both the organizers and the audience. Had she embraced her position with grace and sportsmanship, the aftermath of the event might have been different. Ultimately, everyone seems to be celebrating the winner, except Myanmar. here is no need for concern, everyone. You have your dramatic companion available. Proceed to express your emotions alongside her to garner additional attention

[@Michael1234-e9z]

Glad Nawat finally came out to talk because she went live and don’t want the 3 rd position but want country popular votes, best country award, want costume award and want the crown. If she can’t have all that requested she don’t want the 3rd crown. Today, Nawat finally said “ Fine”…and for ND and her get ready to go back to Myanmar because of so much lying, false accusations, and miss Myanmar have been disrespectful to staff and other candidates. Now the staff came out and said she very demanding when she was kept in quarantine with everyone else making demands for other candidates to do a certain ritual and then requested an elderly Thai to bow down to her and do a wai ..🙏….after this news Nawat will file paperwork for them to leave the country immediately because this kind of entitlement behavior and defamation is not acceptable in Thailand….

[@im_insane_0]

I think Myanmar should see the history of India and Phillipines in Beauty pageant competitions in all over the globe.

Winner and top 2 is great. 2nd runner up is someone we can discuss about😊

That’s exactly what I had in mind. The last 2 standings were POWERHOUSE Countries. I say Burma or Myanmar, who? where?🤔🤷‍♀️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷

[@Michael1234-e9z]

She’s something else just heard news of staff came out and said she demanded an elderly Thai person to do a wai 🙏… and other candidates to give her respect by doing 🙏…. They say she would go into a crazy state like what we saw her on stage on national costume day on and off expression … I don’t know this sounds like she need Holy water or something..!! I can’t believed she got 3 rd place and acted like she should be the queen ..!!

[@SanSan-cp7mm]

⁠@@Michael1234-e9zgirl chill . Myanmar and Thai has lots of cultural similarities and when we prepared something for the event we always pray 🤲 and ask permission to the one whom we represent . If u are not familiar with this kinds of rituals, U can watch Antonia MU 1st runner up National Costume videos before her performance. So it’s kinda disrespectful when someone steps on it u know .

[@titasumac7172]

Well girls, Luciana gave MGI more visibility than any other queen that why she was the winner last year...

[@DAISY-cm8hc]

I was giving MG Myanmar the benefit of doubt when the entire internet was criticising her as I felt it was ND who was more at fault but she unfollowed Rachel on Instagram despite sharing a good bond with her! Insecurity and envy at its peak!! Also, the Myanmar ND said in his live that Miss Myanmar is better than Rachel (probably in his delulu world)!!

[@ck-bs2ms]

She has already the attitude on the first night dinner with nawat... And always lie

Get mayanmar national director arrested that's violence against women, and we should not let that happen in today's age. Shame if we don't take action against him.

As of this day MGI is now my first and favorite pageant aside from ME. I am tired of MU since AnKun took over. I care less cheering aunties, grandmas and trans pageant.

The audacity and the ENTITLEMENT are unbelievable! Myanmar's national costume was not eligible to win because only part of her costume (the horse ) was able to be shown on stage She threw a temper tantrum backstage during the national costume which got her points deducted. She didn't win the popular vote. Indonesia and Vietnam were in the lead final night. Myanmar was in 3rd place in the voting. Nawat has receipts 🧾 Country Power Thailand won because only NEW FOLLOWERS votes were eligible. Not sure if Myanmar fans understood the rules or not but it clearly states NEW followers. Just because you think you are leading in all voting polls doesn't mean you win the competition. It's the overall performance. I really don't understand this entitlement. She should've been more humble and grateful for her position. 2nd runner-up beating out SPAIN! And it's shameful and embarrassing for her National Director to behave like an uncivilized Thug! Now he can be charged with defamation for a slanderous remark accusing Nawat of selling the crown $25,000 LMAO 😂 sorry MGI is not bankrupt. He should add more zeros$$$ to make it more believable. Thailand law is really strict the ND can go to jail for defamation. It's better to just accept the loss graciously and go home

Putra paserella or whoever it is who trained Miss Grand India did a miserable job... She was all over the place when it comes to swimsuits compitition on the boat or whatever it was... Then again she lacked basic technical qualms when it comes to the preliminary swimsuit compitition... The only saving grace was her preliminary evening gown performance when it comes to the final placement apart from the closed door interview which wasn't that closed... You'll understand what I mean if you have seen Sushmita Sen... Manpreet brar... Aishwarya Rai... Diana Hayden... Yukta Mukhi... Priyanka Chopra...Nicole Faria and Lara Dutta... They were a class apart... Rachel Gupta was nowhere close... The generational gap was quite evident... The class and all... Shirinidhi Shetty... Asha Bhat... Manushi Chillar... Harnaz and Rachel Gupta are more of a Gen Zee and lack those qualities of yesteryear... (Except for Meenakshi who was more of a 90's queen .. Ji ji ji... Nonetheless these changing times demands changing trends... They all represent a new century... A new millennia... A couple of factor went in Rachel's way... Her true self... Beauty ( which she has nothing to do with apart from her genes inherited from her parents)... And a shere hard work... Her finals swimsuit performance was as ordinary as it could be... Speech was as monotonous as it could be with no emotions at all... Evening gown was exceptional courtesy to the designer... QNA was almost at par with miss grand Phillipines... So the only distinguishing factor was her aforementioned qualities which I guess is what is required of from a beauty queen these days... Whatever it was... We are glad that we made it all the way through... Thankyou for all your support... Congratulations and love from India ❤❤❤

MGI is on a league of its own. Rachel played the MGI part that included slightly exaggerated moves yet still regal. She belongs to the new and modern generation of beauty queens.

Her team played dirty! Her make-up artist team applied for a freelance artist position with CHAT Cosmetics because they were short-handed. CHAT is the sponsor for MGI. That's why she looked perfect throughout the competition. MGI & CHAT did not find out until after the competition. CHAT has a video of the FAKE artist using Dior cosmetics instead of their makeup and that's how they found out about Myanmar’s sneaky team. So Myanmar team has no room to accuse anyone of unfairness when they are the ones playing dirty and there are receipts 🧾
