This is Kaziah Liz Mejo from Kerala.
In an interview, she said that she was extremely insecure about her looks and skin tone. For almost 3 years, she did not have a single photo of herself without a filter.
She started hiding herself and feared that people wouldn't accept her.
But she worked on herself, built her confidence and kept chasing the dream.
- In 2024, she won Miss Teen Diva.
- In 2025, she represented India at Miss Teen International and finished 1st runner up.
- In 2026, she won Miss Universe Kerala and now she is the new Miss Universe India 2026.
Sometimes, all you need is just confidence.
Literally, it makes me feel bad that most of the people I’m fighting with are Indians my own people. They don’t even respect our own culture, so how am I supposed to expect others to respect it? #PondapologizetoIndianpeople
@kyanith99@mc_09x@the_masked03 If you really hate some racist Indians and really care about the seven sisters and Sikkim do call them out in another post and not try to sway away people's attention on us Indians uniting to protect our culture from @gmm(2/2)
@kyanith99@mc_09x@the_masked03@GMMTV We are calling out @ppnaravit and @GMMTV for borrowing 2 cultures for comic relief concept making fans laugh and comment 555555 while they show immense respect to the Thai culture performance. Why borrow other cultures for laughs when u have one yourselves
@kyanith99@mc_09x@the_masked03 Look at us Indians uniting against @GMMTV and trying to protect our culture and a non-Indian with few Indians friends (yeah your friends are my people my blood related family) with little knowledge trying blend us with some racist people we also hate
@kyanith99@mc_09x@the_masked03@gmm Also since you aren't actually Indian and there is a chance that your Indian friends didn't tell you or you might not know or haven't visited. NE is NorthEast India. And the seven sisters are 7 states including Sikkim being a part of NE so- total 8 states
@kyanith99@the_masked03 If you really care, call out those Indians that mock their own culture we also hate them. Don't try to tear apart Indians that actually respect our culture, standing up against @GMMTV. We are calling out people that mocked Indian and Bosnian culture.
“my sister and her guru didn’t find it mocking”okay?? that doesn’t make their opinion the official verdict on an entire culture. you can’t dismiss people’s discomfort just because someone you personally consulted didn’t share it +
