A Miss England hopeful is following in the footsteps of her mum to become a top beauty queen. Research scientist Anjali Sinha beat 11 other rivals to be crowned Miss London while wearing a recycled outfit which cost less than £40.
The 23-year-old’s achievement comes almost 28 years to the day after her mum Ashvini, 48, was crowned Miss Mumbai in India. The family moved from Mumbai to London in 2003 before settling in Middlesex and Anjali has been keen to follow her mum down the catwalk.
Anjali said: “I’ve been in modelling since around 16. My mother was a pageant girl herself. She got married young and gave her life for me. She calls me pretty and beautiful all the time and suggested why not do something extracurricular.
