Veena: MU's 1st runner-up refused the title, looked down on the new beauty queen, and came back to hug and comfort Huong Giang!

The 74th Miss Universe ended in a series of dramas that shocked the international media. After finishing as 1st runner-up, Veena refused to sign a contract with Miss Universe and went back to her room to hug and comfort Huong Giang, which attracted a lot of attention.

Veena Praveenar Singh was born on April 16, 1996 with a special beauty, a perfect combination of two great cultures: Thailand and India. This blend has given her a sharp face, deep, attractive eyes and healthy brown skin, standing out among the traditional Thai beauties.

Growing up in Thailand, she was educated in a multicultural environment, which helped her become fluent in many languages and open-minded. A graduate of Thammasat University with a degree in Russian and liberal arts, Veena is not only beautiful but also possesses an impressive academic background, which she always puts to good use in competitions.

4 Tests of Endless Fire: The Queen of Perseverance

Veena Praveenar Singh is a symbol of perseverance in the Thai beauty industry. She has conquered the Miss Universe Thailand stage four times. After three close defeats, Veena did not give up. Her relentless efforts were finally rewarded when she was crowned Miss Universe Thailand 2025.

In 2025, Veena was officially crowned Miss Universe Thailand, making history as the first Indian-origin beauty to win the national crown. This journey has made her an inspiration, proving that passion and determination can open all doors, leading her to her Universe dream.

The fateful finale and shocking decision

Representing Thailand at Miss Universe 2025, Veena has been considered one of the most promising candidates. She brings to the contest thorough preparation, confident demeanor and intelligent behavior skills, and is predicted by international experts to make a difference.

As expected, Veena excelled in advancing straight to the Top 2. The whole world held its breath waiting for the moment Thailand touched the prestigious crown. However, the final result made millions of fans burst into disappointment and controversy: the winner was the representative from Mexico.

Immediately, a strong wave of protest spread on social networks. Many opinions said that the result was a clear "bias" of the Miss Universe Organization towards the Mexican contestant. Although she won the title of 1st runner-up, Veena's joy seemed incomplete. She became a victim of a fateful finale where favoritism may have overshadowed fairness.

"Contempt for the President" and the golden friendship with Huong Giang

After the controversial Miss Universe 2025 finale, the Miss Universe Organization tried to calm public opinion and perhaps console Veena with a surprising move. The MUO President awarded her the honorary title of "Queen of Asia", along with the condition of signing a contract for 1 year.

However, with the self-respect and pride of a true queen, Veena made a shocking move: she flatly refused the title and contract. This action showed that Veena did not want to be bound to an organization with an unclear way of working. She needed fairness. Her decisive decision raised her status, helping her receive great support from the international beauty fan community.

Not stopping there, Veena also skipped the post-coronation press conference. She chose to leave the fake spotlight and go back to her room, where she comforted and hugged Huong Giang and confided in her about what she had experienced during the 21 days at Miss Universe.

It was also in that moment of weakness and public pressure that a beautiful fairy tale friendship was revealed: the friendship between Veena Praveenar Singh and Huong Giang, Miss Universe Vietnam 2025.

Huong Giang, Veena’s roommate throughout the competition, deeply understands the efforts and oppression that Vietnam has endured. While the whole world focused on Huong Giang’s shocking exit from the top, Veena, after winning the title of first runner-up, quietly went back to her room and hugged her best friend.

According to the shares revealed later, instead of participating in the post-final parties, Veena went to Huong Giang. She did not need flowery words or analysis of the results. She simply stayed by her friend's side. The two shared that they ordered food to their room to eat together, closed the door and hugged each other to talk. The image of Veena and Huong Giang resting and sleeping together until late at night shows a true friendship, overcoming all barriers of nationality and the crown battle.

Golden friendship between biased organizations

The moment Veena refused to sign a contract with MUO, then turned to comfort and relax in Huong Giang's arms, highlighted two contrasting aspects.

On one hand, there is the bias and politics that exist within the Miss Universe Organization, where secret deals and controversial results tarnish the spirit of fair competition.

On the other hand, it is the sincerity and humanity in the beauty pageant world, where competitive pressure cannot break beautiful bonds. The friendship between Veena and Huong Giang is an "emotional insurance" that no MUO contract can provide. It is where Veena finds true fairness and respect - not from the crown, but from a friend who has been with her through the difficulties.

Veena Praveenar Singh returned to Thailand not only as the 1st runner-up of Miss Universe 2025, but also as an uncrowned queen who bravely defended her own values. Amidst the endless controversy over the results and the bias of the organization, the sincere friendship between Veena and Huong Giang stood out as a warm bright spot.
