With Indian women making an impact at international beauty contests, the world sat up and took notice. It all started with Reita Faria, the first Indian woman to win an international title. She was crowned ‘Miss World’ in 1966. But, unlike her successors who have all tried their hands at acting, Reita Faria opted to practice medicine.
