- At a time when Indian women were still expected to be behind veils, a young girl (Reita Faria) surprised everyone by walking the ramp in a swimsuit. She entered the beauty contest as a joke but went on to become the first Asian woman to win the Miss World pageant in 1966. All roads to Bollywood were open to her, but she refused all offers. What did she do all her life after the competition? And what does she look like today at 80? Watch the full video to find out.

Proud of this woman to refuse fame and instead choose to serve humanity by being a doctor. Praise be to GOD for helping her make the right call.
Her smile today still resembles her smile on Miss World stage. I think she did the right thing and followed her heart. May more people in todays world could do the same.
👍 She was born ahead of her time... Of course she did the right thing by pursuing her dream of becoming a doctor.
Who said women taking care of family are not brave and confident?
That,s modern world mindset
She is still beautiful!!
I remember her being crowned as a beauty queen when I was a teenager in the ninth grade (in Pakistan). I read the news in the newspaper and still remember the day. It was her unusual charm that captivated my teenage heart and is still fresh in my memory. I would talk about her to my classmates while I was a medical student. I worked in Dublin and got a fellowship in surgery in 1987 and if I had known that she was a Dublin resident, I certainly would have expressed my desire to see her. Anyway, I am still her fan. Long live Reita Faria❤
Bhai Ye Sab Kaise Yaad Karte ho ?😮
@@RkR2001 Some things in life are so impressionable that they leave a permanent mark on your memory and Miss Reita Faria is one of them😍
She broke the stereotype and inspired many Indian women. Today India has strong, beautiful and Independent women not forgetting 6 Miss world and 3 Miss Universe.
What an intelligent, strong, and amicable woman. ❤
She is the real gem of india
Yes. She did not stray from her true path.
A family that liberates a daughter to live freely is a successful family.
Yes, she is magnificent...leading a pure choice
Absolutely correct!
She made the great choice of life away from glamour.
Thank you for sharing hers beautiful yet humble life.❤❤❤❤
intelligence has never run after fame, fame is thrust on them by the virtue of who they are whether in creative field of writers or medicine or any other innovation
She had the most beautiful figure. Even her walk was perfect and she moved like a goddess. She had no modeling training. No one taught her how to walk or how to carry herself. She had natural grace and class. She really stood out from the other girls. She deserved to win. 👑 🌼 🌻 🌸 🪷 💐
She did the right thing
Reita Faria with great personality was a beautiful girl win the contest. All the best to her 👍👍👍👍
I did .eet her in london where i was woking in. A Hair Salon and she was staying there for a T.V.show she was so ordinary one woudnt belive she was miss world.she is an incredible lady and i will never forget her.
When you say "ordinary" I'm taking you mean she was not a phony because by her photos she was very pretty.
She is an inspiration and pride for Indian women!

I love it inspiring.
So admirable!
She’s so gorgeous
Outstanding and admirable personality ❤
She did the right thing! What an elegant, well grounded woman. A great role model for young ladies today.
She said, "India needs more doctors"... then she spends her life in the UK ? Hmmm
Exactly 😂
I guess she didn't expect to fall for an Irishman.
Nobody answers honestly, correctly or seriously in a beauty pageant. It was true then as it is now.
It is about answering is a coached way and be clapped at.
That was her obsession at that moment.
Agree with you!
Wow ! What a stunning achievement !
Lovely video.... She took the right decision of following her heart and dedicating her heart for her mission to become a doctor...❤
Yes! She did the write thing👍 God bless her family where she's enjoying the best days of her life with her one n only husband, children n grandchildren 🙏

A pride of India, indeed!
She's still sooo Beautiful ❤
Lot of respect for her
A great women and a great human ! Very few people would have refused the offer to 'rich and famous ' invitation ! True to her reply in the competition !
What a beautiful, stable, centred human being. God Bless her..❤❤❤
And still with a beautiful smile at 81 👍👍👍
Truly a Woman of Substance. God Bless her.
What a beautiful person, in and out!❤
Yes. She has taken the best decision
Wisdom prevails when a person has right values of life. 99% fall prey to glamour and goose bumps of worldly name and fame.
Much less than 1% perhaps are blessed with strong mind to live real values of life .
They live happily and longer
Wonderful lady! Admire her.
Lovely story.
Real wow wonderful story
Real Beauty is ageless. She is inside and outside a really beautiful person.
Absolutely.. A role model of enjoying life to the fullest.. Inspite of her voluminous victory at young age.. She still managed to live a peaceful commoner s life chasing her dream to contribute through one of the actually, noblest professions: Doctor.. I salute her🙋♀️
the most beautiful girl
Yes of course ❤🎉
She is great
Wow❤ gorgeous lady 👏
Definitely yes.
Iona Pinto had also participated in a Beauty contest (either Miss World or Miss universe) there were two girls on the stage and the judges could not decide for a long time whom to select. The moment she stopped smiling, they declared the other girl the winner. This was told to her by one of the judges.
Wow ! This woman deserves more respect than all the present-day Indian celebrities put together 👏👏
CongrAts
Yes, she did the right decision.

As long as she’s happy with her family and her life who am I or anyone else to pass any judgment on her choices in her life

Good to know about her.Did she help children in Bharat ?
So many children needed help in that time
Wow what a life
Good decision in life👍
Aishwarya Rai carries on about her having been Miss World but with no class. Her claim is doing all kinds of unethical things to make money but just look at our very first Miss World from India. Smart lady and she made a smart choice. She still looks beautiful n graceful even at 80 and not all puffed up with botox.
To each her / his own. She was selected by the West and lived there. Supported US in Vietnam. She has done for them as desired. God bless her. 😊
Beautiful in sarees
Yes she did the right thing. Yes fame is very much a temporary thing. ❤
Reita Faria❤
A true modern woman
Very few people would have refused the offer to 'rich and famous ' invitation🙂
Wonderful , she did the right thing.popularity and fame will wane away one day, which will never give any fulfillment.But she choose a noble profession and served people and above all has a loving family and fruitful life.hats off to her decision making .truly inspiring to the new generation ,which run after futile things.
She obey what god dictate her.she is a success and blessed story. Happy for her.
V good decisions.
As usual, the western CZcamsrs and media totally mischaracterise everything.
First of all, beauty contests never were and increasingly has nothing to do with looks or beauty.
There were always much more beautiful women in movie industry and/or modeling.
There have been more beautiful women in Indian modelling and movie industries since the industry took off in the 1920s.
There is no universal Indian culture.
Urban people were not veiled ever and there were elites imitating British and European customs since the 18th century in India.
She is of Goan ancestry.
Goa is a former Portuguese colony. Portuguese made it a point to proselytize and ask Portuguese men to marry Indian women to make them full Portuguese.
Goan Catholics were not from Indian culture by a stretch and had a Portuguese culture.
Even today, their personal laws follow Portuguese Civil Code for things like marriage, divorce, inheritance and even income tax calculation.
If Goan Roman Catholic women show any Indianness, it has happened in the decades after India conquered Goa in 1961 and assimilated Goans.
I'm sure in those days Miss World was not a famous event and since India didn't even had television (TV service started on a novelty basis in Delhi in 1967 and in major metros in India in the 1970s. and was only a single government owned channel till 1991) nobody had heard of the term Miss WOrld except the foreign travelled elite and high society club class.
I'm sure no one in India heard of her and she was never any influence in Bollywood, because it had its own stars since the 1920s.
Ironically, she never served India as a doctor...
@@bharatmahaan2991because she had to submit to her marriage.don't be jealous that no Miss World took a right choice she is the only one who pursued her dream.
Turning down bollywood's offer says itself her determination
