Only two Indian women have won the Miss Universe crown in the past. Sushmita Sen won the title in 1994 and Lara Dutta in 2000.
Since then India's performance has been dismal and the beauties were nowhere near the Top 3 slots.

But looks like India may have a chance this time. The owner of the coveted Miss Universe pageant, Donald Trump is betting India's gorgeous Noyonita Lodh to win the 2014 title.
Trump tweeted wishing Noyonita Lodh - his 'stunning friend' - to get India's 3rd Miss Universe crown.

Donald Trump wrote, "@Shinatasangh: My stunning friend @NoyonitaLodh Miss India hope she gets 3rd @MissUniverse crown 4 India @LaraDutta".
The Bangalore beauty hopes she can end India's title drought.
It has been six straight years when Asia missed out on the title and Riyo Mori from Japan was last crowned Miss Universe 2007 in Mexico.
