Adline will now go on to represent India at Miss Universe while the nation pins hopes to her to bring back the much longed-for crown.

A student of St. Xavier’s College, Adline always endeavored to work in the Agriculture business and support farmers through her firsthand exposure in the field. She believes that bringing together NGOs with likeminded visionarieswho wish to help farmers increase their revenue and build a sustainable livelihood would reap great rewards for the rural community as a whole. She is also keen about encouraging leadership qualities in women by conducting Leadership Programs as well as spreading more awareness about the acceptance of the LGBTQ community.

As an avid badminton player during her school and college terms, Adline has always been inclined towards sports. It is no surprise then that she chose Deepa Malik as her muse for inspiration.

She truly embodies the belief that ‘what the mind can conceive, a person can achieve’. Aside from playing badminton, Adline also loves to indulge in western dance, reading and cycling as hobbies.

Speaking on the occasion of her homecoming, the new Miss Diva said, “It feels surreal to come back home as not just my parents’ daughter but the city’s hope and pride. It’s truly a dream come true. Myfuture plans include travelling to a lot of places and meeting people from different cultures to understand the depth of each culture and thereby form a guideline of how best to represent the culture of our country at the Miss Universe pageant.”
