A grand celebration of beauty, diversity, and empowerment is on the horizon. Under the starry skies of Bhutan, Taption Media is all set to host the second edition of the prestigious beauty pageant, Wave Queen India Miss & Mrs International 2026. Scheduled at the cusp of autumn’s end and winter’s threshold—from late October to early November—the pageant promises to be a spectacular cross-border event celebrating individuals aged 13 to 80.

At a press conference held in Kolkata, Neetu Shah, the founder of Taption Media, officially unveiled the details of this season’s grand affair.

The press conference was graced by an array of distinguished personalities who lent their support to the initiative.

Among those present alongside Neetu Shah were former high-ranking Kolkata Police officer Pinaki Chakraborty, filmmaker Bhargav Choudhury, music expert Abhijit Paul, Dr. Parmee Goswami, Putul Dhar, and celebrated model Shubhangini, among other notable guests.

“This second edition is designed to be deeply inclusive. We are breaking traditional barriers by introducing diverse categories. Alongside the Mr. and King segments for men, the women’s categories will feature Miss, Mrs., Plus Size, Classic, and Short Height divisions. Winners across all categories will be honored with prestigious certificates alongside an array of exciting, attractive prizes,” said Neetu Shah.

The road to the crown is already buzzing with excitement. According to the organizers:

• The Grand Finale: Scheduled for November 1, 2026, in the scenic locales of Bhutan.
• The Finalists: Only the top 50 shortlisted contestants will make it to the main stage.
• The Response: Aspiring candidates from various walks of life have already begun registering and reaching out to secure their spots.

A great fashion event to look forward to!!
