23-year-old Panipat girl Nishtha Dudeja won the Miss Deaf Asia 2018 title at an international pageant held in Prague recently. With this, Nishtha became the first Indian to have won any title at the Miss Deaf World Pageant.

The beauty from Haryana  faced tough competition from contestants from China, Thailand, Taiwan, Israel, Czech Republic, Belarus, Mexico, South Africa and other countries at the 18th edition of Miss and Mister Deaf World -Europe -Asia Beauty Pageant 2018.

"I want to thank my parents for their consistent support who were always there to help me. Now I want to help the deprived people even at the cost of my comfort. I believe that the differently abled people don't need pity. They only deserve equal opportunities to prove themselves," Nishtha, who has returned to India now, said.

What a moment! It was overwhelming. It's certainly something I will cherish forever! It was an amazing night. For d first time, India won any crown at Miss and Mister Deaf World pageant. I'm happy that I won dis crown for India.#NishthaDudeja #MissDeafAsia2018 #MissDeafIndia2018 pic.twitter.com/tn6txUSpWR
