Abohar-born Anju Kalra has been crowned as the Haut Monde Mrs India Worldwide Season 14 (Luxembourg) winner. The grand finale was recently organised in Voco Monaco, Dubai.
An official spokesperson said Anju is a woman of elegance, perseverance and purpose. Haut Monde Mrs India Worldwide is an international beauty pageant for Indian married women that is conducted annually since 2011.
Anju’s father Ramesh Chander Juneja retired as a lecturer. Her mother Saroj Juneja served as the headmistress of a government school. Anju studied in New Delhi and has been a corporate professional for 14 years in Singapore. She is now a senior business consultant in a French investment bank in Luxembourg. Anju, a single mother, is raising her 16-year-old son.
At the crowning ceremony, she said, “This crown is not mine, it is of every woman who has ever been told that she is not enough. You are enough, you are powerful, you are invincible.”
Anju’s journey reflects the objective of Haut Monde Mrs India Worldwide. This platform gives married women an opportunity to recognise their strength, beauty and confidence.
