Mumbai, June 30, 2017: Mangaluru model Srinidhi Ramesh Shetty has surpassed many Bollywood celebrities like Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, and Sunny Leone to become ‘The Most Desirable Woman 2016’ in India. Srinidhi was already crowned as Miss Supranational 2016 and Miss Asia and Oceania 2016, becoming the only girl to have won both the titles in the same year.

Srinidhi was born on 21 October 1992 in Mangaluru to Ramesh Shetty and Kushala Shetty. She completed her graduation in EEE from Jain University and worked as an IT professional for Accenture in Bangalore for about 2 years. Srinidhi in 2012 won Miss Beautiful Smile and Miss Karnataka.



She will also be seen in Sandalwood movie, K.G.F, opposite Rocking Star Yash.

On the Times List of 50 Most Desirable Women Of 2016, she is followed by  Jacqueline Fernandez (2), Priyanka Chopra (3), Deepika Padukone (4), Katrina Kaif (5), Sunny Leone (6), Lopamudra Raut (7), Amy Jackson (8), Priyadarshini Chatterjee (9) and Varthika Singh (10).

According to the Beauty Pageants-India Times, the question asked to Srinidhi was: “Which qualities of yours do you think make you desirable?”

She replied: “I think it’s much more than just my physical appearance. I strongly believe this is a recognition and appreciation that is bestowed upon those who represent India internationally. So, I dedicate this honor to all those men and women who have, and will, represent India.”

Another question stated as “Your title commitments must be keeping you busy. How do you make time for social life?”

Srinidhi added: “I don’t have a social life. When you enter this field of creativity and competitiveness, some things take a back seat. So for now, I’m completely occupied with my projects and commitments as a reigning Supranational and I am thoroughly enjoying it.”
