Success story of Sri Lankan…National Finalist at Miss Grand Australia

Miss Grand Australia stands out as a prestigious beauty pageant that values intelligence, grace, and elegance in women. Breaking barriers, it emphasizes the 3Bs: Beauty, Body, and Brain, transcending traditional beauty competitions.

Reporting from Melbourne, Sashi Neelya – Head of PR communication, Miss Grand Australia – says this year, the grand finale took place in Melbourne, the fashion capital, managed by Chadwick Events, setting a new record for a dazzling gala night.

Sashi goes on to say that a remarkable achievement was made by Sri Lankan Nimesha Dilrukshi, who was a National Finalist among hundreds of contestants.

What’s more, the finalists banded together to raise a total amount of AUD 60,000 for Destiny Rescue – a well-known organisation that works tirelessly to rescue and restore children from human trafficking and exploitation, from around the world.

According to Sashi, Nimesha Dilrukshi, 25, shares an amazing story about her determination to stand on her own after her father’s passing, when she was 18, her journey to Australia for studies in Hospitality Management, and her successful career in the hospitality industry as a cook.

Her passion for baking, influenced by her late father’s bakery in Sri Lanka, has led her to establish her own baking business, in Australia, specializing in cakes and sweet products.

Says Sashi: “It’s also fantastic that she has been able to pursue her passion for modelling and photography, participating in photoshoots, and being signed by a modelling agency. And she loves to play badminton and she’s a national level player back in Sri Lanka.”

Being selected for Miss Grand Australia 2023 is a remarkable achievement for Nimesha, and it’s clear that this experience has had a positive impact on her personal growth and confidence, says Sashi.

Overall, Nimesha’s story is inspiring and demonstrates her resilience and pursuit of her dreams.
