‘Suits’ fan, ‘sneakers girl’, and Sushmita Sen’s choice: Meet Miss Universe India Kaziah Liz Mejo
Kaziah Liz Mejo, a 19-year-old law student from Kerala, won the Miss Universe India title earlier this month. She is the first Miss Universe India from her hometown. Despite the chaos leading up to the pageant in Puerto Rico, Mejo remains undaunted, stating that the experience is nothing she can't handle.
Originally, Mejo aspired to be a pop star, but after watching the legal drama series Suits, she found her passion for law and public speaking. She believes that law and pageantry are not two separate worlds, and she can use her skills in both fields.
Mejo draws inspiration from Chinese-American freestyle skier Eileen Gu, who encourages positive self-talk before stepping on stage. Before the pageant, Mejo would reflect on her three years of preparation, recalling the blood, sweat, and tears she invested. She is honored to have met former Miss Universe winners, including Sushmita Sen, whom she describes as her idol. Meeting Sen was the perfect start to her reign, as Sen saw something special in Mejo.
