Controversy This edition of the pageant stirred a controversy over Twitter where the Miss India team was accused of selecting 'fair-skinned' women to run in the pageant. People also pointed towards the fact that the girls looked similar and that the diversity of the country was not visible. However, the pageant organizers rubbished all the claims. They also made a video regarding the same topic, stating that many of their past winners and contestant came from all corners of the country and had different ethnicity.
Notes
: The crowning of the winner from the North state, Jammu and Kashmir was during the final event of West zonal crowning which held on 14 April 2019 in Pune. This was due to the delayed audition held in the state since the state was under emergency as a result of Pulwama terrorist attack.
