- In 1966, Reita Faria participated in a coveted beauty pageant in London with no professional wardrobe or training. But she went on to win the crown. This is how she did it... 👑
They forgot to tell she did not have a gown to wear for the eveningwear segment of the competition, so she wore a simple sari and as a result won the sub-title 'Best in Eveningwear'. What could be more Indian? 🥰
Bruh that's genius!!
The true showcase of Indian culture
Oh, really..!? 😍
I didn't know this..!!
Thanks for telling..
Thank you for sharing this infornation
i made the one thousandth like.
Because she chose not to act in films, the media didn't publicise her. I had not heard about her till now.
She was talked about in the news when Aishwarya Rai won the Miss World pageant, and people came to know that Aishwarya wasn't the first Miss World from India.
boundless They will always talk about past winners.
I knew of Rita faria from my parents Indian media is useless they are only interested in flash and glam of hindi cinema and people associated with it not actual news that might exist outside of the movie world ☹️
Icy Tapioca true
Ireland mien settled ho gyi
This lady and her family must have been quite ahead of their times to have adorned a swim suit in 60s!!!!!
ibn meraj wow what an idiot you are
@ibn meraj no not really
Person's choice=things they do=progress
@ibn meraj absolutely yes, there is no problem with wearing anything but how come wearing short clothes automatically means that the person is progressive!
Adorning swimsuit have no relation to being progressive or ahead of time.
@Shhreyas Kairoli came here to answer him. Saw that you guys had answered him already . :) ♥️
Respect to her for not chosing a career in film industry Instead pursued her dreams to become a Doctor. 👍
Wdym, women can choose any career they want, if every miss world goes to the flim industry, it's their choice. And you are pointing out that the women go in the flim industry don't deserve to have respect? Shame on you.
@@minalbobade2936 he just meant that he was proud of her following her dreams he never meant any disrespect. Don't be an asshat
Nice observation...
🤔 M pretty sure if someone is going to film industry, they are following their dreams.
@@Garudan0804 then the comment could have been respect for pursuing her dreams.. but it actually has another part that says respect for not choosing a career in acting.. right?
At that time, women use to not be doctors even in the first world countries... The maximum they'd go is become nurses... Miss Faria was way ahead from the rest of the world and very early on made it clear that beauty is not confined just to the world of glamour. Kudos!
Where are you getting your information from? Women in other countries had many allopathic female doctors. Kindly have a fact check
@@gayathrikumandur only 7% of medical students in United States were female in 1960...it took 25 more years for the number to rise to 50%...even it is shown in fiction how women were not taken seriously in medical profession around that time... Fiction depicting the old times. Not just such profession but even in politics women are chosen in India before countries like usa... Try to read the context and fact check yourself first. The point was, rita faria was ahead of her time. Don't go off the context. Thank you!
@@brijbalavyas Equality of opportunity and equality of outcome are two vastly different concepts. Pushing for equality of outcome usually results in an imbalance in the competence hierarchy, while equality of opportunity ensures otherwise.
@@brijbalavyas Well you said she was ahead from the rest of the world when technically she wasn't. She was just ahead of the majority of Indians.
@@gayathrikumandur I disagree. If you have had gender studies and feminism, it's very clear from there that she was ahead from THE MOST of the world... Women doctors were NOT common ANYWHERE in the world at that time. Even in a country like America,women were not encouraged in the medical profession unless there was a dire need. I don't know why is that so hard to accept... It's history!
Not Just a Pretty Face: Reita Faria, the first Asian to win Miss World
First indian.
@@Kat-y_L First Asian also
Coincidentally the first Asian to win mister world is also indian
@@priyankatripathi9543 yes true
Look at their walk.. it's so simple without any over acting as compared to today's time...
Yup rightly pointed out 👍🏾
That's because they used to wear really tight fitting clothes..It's also because trends in modelling industry keep changing.
Trends do change. The same pageant would reject contestants with the same simple ramp
U guys are too dramatic
Barechest Dakar Senegal Africa Rachana Maurya
"reita felt like an outsider" yet was so confident on the outside
No matter what religion u are.. To the world you are an Indian.. Its only in India you are called outsider.. What irony.
All the girls looked different at least 😂
Now a days all have same smile, same nose, same figure and look like identical copies of each other.
Ikr s-line nose, plump lips, sharp jawline are considered 'beautiful' nowadays.
Jst like factory made
Why? Because some country envy if you are different from their vintage faces.😢 Be confident with your own face.
Because their cosmetic surgery is in same place.
@@meenakshikkutti 😃😁
Today, the world preaches the notion that "Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes". Yet, we never see a short/thick women ever represented in films, modelling or for that matter, Pageants.
True!
😂😂😂 funny but true
We do see short actresses a lot(in Hollywood atleast reese Witherspoon,Scarlet johannson,Meghan fox)
Actually I do see short actresses very much in film industry but curvy woman are less represented
that's the Bollywood hypocrite we are surrounded by!
Miss Chillar should also follow her footsteps. I don't understand why every beauty pageant wants to enter Bollywood. Hats off to Miss World Reita Faria
everybody have their own rights to make their choice.
because they want to go in film industry, they like it.
Exactly.
More money than being a doctor and off course name also.
That the time bollywood was not big industry so she didn't came
For you all saying every miss world going in the flim industry, it's their choice to choose the career, if they think they are capable of acting etc then let them do it. Don't think that all the pageant winners who go in the flim industry don't deserve respect.
And still, out of all the winners from 69 editions, Reita faria is the only MISS WORLD winner who qualified as a doctor during her reign as a Miss World.
Manushi chhillar is a medical student
@@sukumaranvinodkumar, she is yet to be completed her studies.
Also Rolene Strauss miss World 2014 from South Africa qualified as a medical doctor..
@@danieldewet4248, Rolene qualified as a doctor after her reign.
@@ananthu2240 not all people want to be a doctor everyone has a dream job ..mr poopie pie
When beauty was natural & Rs. 5000 was more than today's 5 lakhs.
Lots of respect for her. after getting miss world title she did not act like materialistic doll, did not exposed and did not faked up saying some struggling stories. She followed her dream and became what she want to.....hats off😘
Now a days the contestants talk big on social issues and promise they will change the world but after they win they go to Bollywood/Hollywood. Salute to this woman.
Well said
True
Intelligence is sexier than looks
sacarstically saying..but this sentence can't be accepted by indian politicians..they'll have another reason fr y a women is raped..they'll say tht she was intelligent n so she was raped...
@Voice of the soul aatma ki aawaz politicians..aren't their statements already dumb enough?
@@priya-xr3rr can I know the name of such a disgusting politician ?
She got both she had beautiful eyes and of course she is intelligent
am i the only one to see different type of body types and skin tones in that pageant . reita faria she got a such a beautiful eyes and i respect her for being what she dreamt of without getting lost in glamorous world
And this most respected and beautiful lady turned 77 today and still she looks so gorgeous ❤️❤️
A carry progressive, intelligent humble lady, Reita Faria is India’s national treasure.
now that's a truly inspiring story.. cheers to Reita!
Good to see contestants who are not plastic ...almost all contestants look beautiful...& different...the most beautiful girl being an Indian...Miss. Rita Faria.
She looks so classy ♥
Well informed and educated Indians prefer to leave India....a very few..a little stay back....hoping that they can change the country....unfortunately they end up sending their kids to overseas....
This cycle continues.
Harsh but...true. The narrow mindedness over here is just pathetic
I wish same for Manushi Chillar.
Rightly said .
So sad people like you generalise everything and never tries to change things, if we really try hard we can be better. Let me tell you one thing our country is far better than many countries.
Things are changing with modi in govt , many NRI's are returning to work in india. But at the moment population is so much that sendjng some out is good. We need to control the population so that our development shows quickly. Otherwise increase in population eats up whatever good india maybe doing. So much competition because of population in india has made life in india difficult.
I only knew her name and achievement but she's such an inspirational person.
Believe me! She's more beautiful than any Bollywood/Hollywood actresses I have seen so far.😍And also she was pretty talented. Beauty with brains.
True, that too without plastic surgery.
Reita faria proved that indian women are too talented
NGL she looks absolutely stunning and regal. Women really themselves differently back then love the whole style everything from hair to clothing.
Yay! She's born on my birth date
I'm a neet aspirant
And also interested in beauty nd makeup!
What a coincidence!
Congratulations India 🇮🇳🇮🇳. Till 2021:-
Miss World Titles: India - 6 | Position #1🥇
Miss Universe Titles: India - 3 | Position #5 ❤️
Back then beauty pageants were directly linked with fashion and film industry. Reita changed it all!!
And today we have brilliant pageants...from doctors, to high IQ women, to chemical experiments in the talent round...
What a wonderful lady who choose to service the people in a good deeds in becoming a doctor,and not to enter the selfish world of film industry.We salute you.God bless
Good that she did not settle in India.. They have no value for her...She deserved the title amongst those whose choose career in film industry..and making big money Hats off.. She looked like a princess 👸
WOW!! WOW!! I remembered her when I was a little girl. That year or the following year another Indian girl from Guyana was placed 2nd. runner up, her name was SHAKIRA BAKSH now Mrs. SHAKIRA CAINE. I believe that she & Reita became friends. HATS OFF TO THESE BREATHTAKING, AUTHENTIC BEAUTIES!!! THEY ARE TRULY BEAUTIFUL in every sense of the word!!
Not only the first Indian, but also the first Asian ever to win Miss World
@A Travel boy... go learn some Geography
R u out in america
@A Travel did u ever go to school
Respect her comes from our bottom of heart mind and soul . She has proven that physical beauty not intellectual brilliance along with dedicated and disciplined attitude is true brilliance . present and future generations have a lot to learn from her live . Really an inspiration
Sorry for typographical errors
She had some dignity, self respect along with beauty... thank God for that. Unlike so called beauty nowadays
Hats off. Those were the days of natural, untouched real beauty. And she was one. Her achievement was historical.. Love her
Met her today in VHCCI temple, Dublin. She has unfurled Indian Flag for the Republic Day. Amazing personality and very beautiful
She looks like the Malayalee actress Navya Nair!!
Not only first Indian but also first Asian to win MISS WORLD
She is from my school
St Joseph's convent school,panchgani ❤
Best of luck to you for Miss India
The winners are not the most beautiful girl in the world.. They are girls that win based on a variety of qualities
Our First International Queen✨💫💥
Omg I'm in love with her personality , choose what's the priority career over fake attention ,she must be so happy today
Her eyes I had paused my video just to admire her eyes... So much of dreams in it so attractive..
She made india proud , she made goa proud
Reita Faria was a pioneer. Won Miss World in 1960s when India's fashion/glamour industry was not yet developed much. Good looks and intelligence. She became a doctor later.
And well mannered.unlike these vulgar types who think they r smart when they rude
A true Indian .. even after winning she chose to be a doctor, not an actress. I really wished Manushi would do the same.
kudos to her.....she is beautiful aswell as gutsy...
Damn that is such an awesome snippet of information.
can't relate though.
She is inspiration for Indian middle class Girl /ladies that can achieve what she wants....👍❤️👍
She is an inspiration to many. Her story should be told.
What brave girl
That's a real boldness in that time never show off many people can learn we miiss u mam

She does inpired not only Indian but actuall every Asian women in a way to become greater and successful with purpose. The real beauty in her attitude and bravery. This is the lesson that we must learn from Rita. And now she leave the legacies to her successors like Aish, Diana, Yukhta, Priyanka and Manushi. Such an amazing spiritual. Bravo Rita!!

I am so proud to say that I am
Her neighbor in GOA
the first Indian to win the title
And also proud to say they first Indian MR.SUP is also from GOA and my neighbor. PRATAMESH MAULINKAR.
TBH I am proud of the Miss World's who continued to pursue other professions they were orignially from thereby living by the real motto of Beauty With A Purpose. No offense to others but the real essence of Miss World is exactly that
Brazil caught my eyes ❤️
She is from my college ...m proud to say I am also from GRANT MEDICAL COLLEGE AND JJ GROUP OF HOSPITALS, MUMBAI 🙏
Ruhi don't be proud of her. Rather be proud of urself that u still studing in Indian medical college and not leaving it n going abroad for studies after getting an international tittle.
Unforgettable eyes..though her eye colors are not like sus nd ash but no matter what she proved that she is gorgious in her simpliest way.😍💝simply god gifted..
Faria is of Portuguese ancestry. Proud to have Portuguese ancestry.
The Indian beauty had been first discovered in 1966.
She was the beauty and the brains , she made a difference in this world not like the others want fame and power, whether then can act or not.
I saw her in my basic ABC learning book .
She was Q for Queen in that book.
wow
She is really talented won the title by doing joke who would have thought she would win the crown
She is miss world in true sense. For her inner beauty , confidence n being the women with right mind🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I always wonder why doctors are so beautiful
She is very beautiful and perfect like old actress.
Her life changed since then.. So good
The older days when every participant had such a natural and healthy figure, different unique features which made the diversity even better and simple makeup and dressing to really show one's true beauty. I'm quite disappointed to what the society has become. All these women are gorgeous!
Every contestant has a smile all the time, nowadays how much "attitude" they show while walking the ramp matters more! Moreover everyone still doesn't look "exposed" wearing swimsuits unlike current pageants...
She and yukta mukhi miss world 1999 looks so similar
A true beauty with a true meaning,
Be proud and be humble. 💖
Reita faria was ahead of her times
Medical student can do anything 😌😌
🙏💄
To be honest, I never understood paegents
It is not about most beautifulful women. It is about most brilliant women who has good sense of humor. She is good at every thing. She has confidence.
One word....
...Regal....
..by far the best from India...
We Indians are proud for her achievement
Everyday there is something interesting in your channel.
Great content!

I would love to see manushi following Faria's footsteps and serve to humanity in medical field.
She will be an actress, already going to make her debut. Well, she might be interested in films. There's nothing wrong in being an actress. We need every one in our society.
