Miss India Worldwide UK 2012
4th February 2012

The awaited finals of the Miss India Worldwide UK 2012 are to be held on 4th February 2012 on board the HMS President currently moored at Embankment, London. This event pays homage to some of the most beautiful women of Indian Heritage within the UK, with the winner competing in the Miss India Worldwide Pageant to be held on the 25th February in Paramaribo, Surinam. She will be going 'head to head' against the winners of the Miss India Worldwide Pageant from over 30 Countries.

This year’s event is the first year for Jaya Patel who was recently appointed as the National Director of Miss India Worldwide UK (MIWWUK) for 2012. Jaya took up the challenge of being the National Director with the aim to bring added transparency, structure and support to the event. She said, "‘as a mother of a finalist I experienced first hand the difficulties faced by applicants. I wanted to ensure that all future pageants in the UK supported the contestants throughout the competition and provided the environment, with the glitz and glamour that such an important competition deserves."

One aspect of the compeition involves contestants supporting their favourite charities. On Thursday 12th January 2012 at the Aura Club in London, Aisha Uka, age 2,6 MIWWUK 2012 Finalist, put together a Charity Fashion show on behalf of Save The Children called 'Fashionista Relief'. Aisha, who looked stunning in her black and silver ensemble, said "Thank you to everyone, we raised a great amount for a great cause".
