SHILLONG, Sep 19: Bringing laurels to her hometown Shillong, 34-year-old Genevieve Pala recently won the title of 2nd Runner-Up at Mrs. Supranational India 2024.
Genevieve, who is born and raised in Shillong, is now preparing to represent India at the Mrs. Universe pageant in South Korea.
Reflecting on her journey, Genevieve expressed her overwhelming joy and pride in being able to represent India on the global stage.
“Winning Mrs. Supranational India second runner-up is one of my biggest achievements. Coming from a small state like Meghalaya, competing globally is something I’ve always dreamt of,” she said, crediting her success to both divine blessings, and her relentless hard work and dedication.
Genevieve said the Mrs. Supranational India 2024 event, which was held in Mumbai, provided her with unforgettable experiences.
