The grand finale of Mr. and Ms. Senior Fashion Pageant India, presented by Peach Events and curated by Rekha Desai, took place last evening and marked a historic moment in Indian pageantry. This one-of-its-kind event, held at Balgandharva Rang Mandir auditorium in Bandra, celebrated individuals above the age of 55 — boldly breaking stereotypes around age, beauty, and relevance.
After an intensive four-day grooming session conducted by industry expert Shakir Shaikh, the finalists took to the stage with charisma and confidence. From the talent round to the Q&A segment, they impressed with not just style and grace, but a lifetime of stories, achievements, and inner beauty. The event was hosted by Ms. Simran Ahuja.
