Ananya soch: In a proud moment for the city, Jaipur’s rising star Meenakshi Chapola has been crowned Miss Grand Rajasthan 2026, bringing recognition and pride to the state. A former first runner-up of Miss Rajasthan 2025, Meenakshi’s journey reflects determination, confidence, and a passion for excellence.
According to organizers and her mentors Yogesh Mishra and Nimisha Mishra, this marks the 14th year of the prestigious Miss Grand platform. Winning at the state level, Meenakshi now moves a step closer to competing at the national stage of Miss Grand India, where the winner represents the country at the globally renowned Miss Grand International pageant—counted among the world’s top five beauty contests.
At just 18 years old, Meenakshi has already carved a niche for herself in the world of beauty and pageantry.

Beyond pageantry, Meenakshi is pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) at JECRC University. Her ability to balance academics with her passion showcases her commitment to holistic development and success.
Hailing from Mansarovar, Jaipur, Meenakshi is the daughter of Jayant Kumar Chapola, a contractor and businessman, and Vimla Chapola. Her family has been a strong pillar of support throughout her journey.
As she prepares to represent Rajasthan at the national level, Meenakshi carries with her the rich culture, traditions, and spirit of her state. With a vision to inspire and empower others, she stands as a symbol of confidence, resilience, and modern Indian youth ready to shine on a bigger munch.
