Chandigarh: Rajni Singh, 41, from Punjab’s Kapurthala was the fourth runner-up
Forty one-year-old Rajni Singh, a graduation from Panjab University in Chandigarh, finished at fourth position in the Miss Great Britain beauty pageant held in the UK last week, a report in The Tribune,Chandigarh, says.
The only Indian participant in the contest, Rajni a resident of Punjab’s Kapurthala. moved to the UK after her marriage in 2003. She works as a practice manager in Primary Care, NHS.
“I was someone who was anxious growing up and had low self-esteem. Like many women, I used to think that once you got married, everything became your priority, but you. It was only through my fitness journey that I realised my true potential and true worth,” Singh said
Singh said she participated in the pageant to break stereotypes, to represent and inspire women of colour, “especially South Asian women who, often, bury their dreams and passions to fulfil other roles in life”.
“I wanted to remind (women) how important it is to live for yourself, to believe in yourself and to not let anyone else’s opinion define you,” she said.
Singh credits her husband Daljeet Singh for encouraging her “to dream big” and for giving her “wings to fly high”.
“Lately, I have taken my passion for fitness into the profession as an online nutritionist and fitness coach. I am a fitness enthusiast and I aspire to educate women about the importance of fitness and nutrition through social media and from work,” she said.
‘Miss Great Britain’ is held every year since 1945.
