The reigning Miss Grand returns home after the scandal of being ignored by the runner-up, the airport "falls"

Recently, Miss Grand International 2024 returned home after 2 months of coronation. At the airport, many fans came to share the joy with the new Miss, making Gupta emotional.

After 2 months of coronation, on December 16, the reigning Miss Grand International - Rachel Gupta returned to India. A large number of fans and the media were waiting, bustling with gongs and drums to welcome the new beauty queen at Indira Gandhi airport. Gupta appeared at the airport in a figure-hugging dress, wearing a crown and smiling warmly to greet everyone.

The queen was so moved by the welcome from everyone that fans even made a large flower necklace for Gupta to wear around her neck. The delegation accompanying the new queen included President Nawat and the Miss Grand team. It is known that the queen will have events such as meetings, celebrations, exchanges and charity work in India before leaving for a tour of countries around the world in January 2025. During the 2 months before returning to India, Rachel Gupta was also busy with work in Thailand. She and the top 10 Miss Grand 2024 often livestreamed to sell products for Mr. Nawat.

Previously, the audience was outraged when Rachel Gupta did not receive all the privileges of the winner of the Miss Grand International contest. Accordingly, Christine Juliane Opiaza - 1st runner-up from the Philippines was also given the opportunity to travel around the world by the contest. Her time of activity lasted from about December 2024 to August 2025. This is unprecedented in the more than 10-year history of the Miss Grand International contest.

The fact that the first runner-up was given the same privileges as the winner put the new Miss Grand International in a situation where she had to share the spotlight. Not only that, a big question was raised: "Will Rachel Gupta's tenure therefore become less brilliant compared to the beauties who were crowned Miss Grand International at that time?"

Rachel Gupta was born in 2004, she was crowned Miss Grand International at the end of October 2024. It is known that the queen is 1.78 m tall, has measurements of 81-61-91 cm, has a sharp face and good, attractive performance skills. Currently, in addition to her modeling career, Gupta is also the CEO of a beauty academy and salon. Gupta's social media account increased from a few hundred thousand followers to 1.5 million followers in just 2 months.

In early December, Gupta was unexpectedly accuse.d by 3rd runner-up Safíetou Kabengele (French) of having a discordant attitude. Specifically, the 3rd runner-up wrote on her personal page: "Unfortunately, Rachel did not respect me in front of the organizers and other girls. I will not pretend to have a relationship with someone who hurt me because I have no obligations. I will always be 100% honest with the person I love and no one can force me to act differently, even in front of the camera lens." Thus, the 3rd runner-up frankly affirmed that her relationship with the reigning Miss was somewhat discordant. Because of these statements, the 3rd runner-up Kabengele was later criticize.d by the online community, who thought that the French beauty was too comfortable when she could tell everything on social networks.

A few days after the incident, Safíetou Kabengele suddenly spoke up to clarify that the misunderstanding between her and Gupta had been resolved with mutual respect and the French beauty also hoped that the online community would calm down. Kabengele was also surprised by the reaction of the online community, she just thought she was frankly clarifying the relationship with Gupta that the online community was speculating about. The 3rd runner-up did not anticipate that her statement would cause unnecessary trouble.

Finally, the beauty affirmed: "I never intended for things to escalate like this. I hope we can all take a step back, focus on spreading kindness and leave the negativity behind." In addition, while runner-up Safíetou Kabengele spoke out about her discordant relationship with Miss Rachel Gupta, she gave many compliments to the Myanmar beauty - Thae Su Nyein - who gave up the title of 2nd runner-up Miss Grand International 2024 right on the final night. Safíetou Kabengele said she still keeps in touch and has affection for Thae Su Nyein. In response, Thae Su Nyein reshared the post that Safíetou Kabengele said about her with the caption: "I miss you". As for Gupta, before the actions of the 3rd runner-up and the Myanmar beauty, she just kept silent and did not explain anything further.
