Miss World 2023 finale will be held on 9 March 2024 at Jio World Convention Centre, Mumbai. This event is being held in India after 27 years. Earlier in 1996, Miss World finale was held in Bengaluru. This time Miss India 2022 Sini Shetty will represent India. Born and brought up in Mumbai, 22-year-old Sini is an accounts and finance graduate.
There was a time when Sini's mother Hema Shetty did not want her to divert her focus from studies and enter the world of modeling. She wanted to see her daughter doing a secured job.
Before the Miss World 2023 finale, Dainik Bhaskar spoke to her mother Hema Shetty. He talked about Sini's likes, dislikes and her journey into modelling.
Sini Shetty's father Sadanand Shetty is the founder and managing director of Shikhin Hotel in Navi Mumbai.

Hema Shetty said, 'This is a very emotional moment for us. My daughter has worked very hard to reach this point. Since childhood, Sini was more interested in extracurricular activities. He is quite active socially. Dance, sports, drama, she is always ahead in every field. He is also very smart in studies. Mostly he got marks above 90%.

This is a very happy moment for me and Sini's father. Proud of my daughter, who will represent India on such a big platform.

I wanted my daughter to do a secured job- Hema Shetty
'I remember, when she was in 12th class, her tuition teacher and friends used to come to me and tell me that Sini was different from other girls. When she went to school, the teachers also used to say that Sini had a different spark. She should try out for beauty pageants. However, at that time I wanted Sini to focus only on her studies. I had no interest in the glamor field at all. I wanted my daughter to complete her studies and do a white collar, secured job.
On July 3, 2022, Sini Shetty won the title of Miss India World. In this, Rubal Shekhawat stood second and Shinata Chauhan stood third.
She had asked for my permission before going to Miss India – Hema Shetty
'Sini started getting modeling offers from agencies during her college days. Even at that time I had advised him to concentrate on his studies. Then when the offer for Miss India came, she asked me for permission again. I saw a different sparkle in my daughter's eyes. She was very emotional. I decided to put my thoughts behind and support my daughter's dreams.
Sini Shetty is a professional Bharatanatyam dancer.
'I did not want my daughter to regret anything in future. I said, 'Do whatever you want, just do it well'. Hearing this she cried. Sini is a very emotional girl. She respects her parents a lot. We have given him good upbringing. Whatever she does now, she will have our full support.
