The reigning Miss Diva winners are Roshmitha Harimurthy, Srinidhi Ramesh Shetty, and Aradhana Buragohain.
After Miss Universe Organization awarded back the franchise to Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd.
A separate pageant Miss Diva - 2013 was conducted to send representative to Miss Universe. In earlier days Femina Miss India used to send its winner to compete at Miss Universe pageant.
But in 2010, a separate pageant, I Am She - Miss Universe India was conducted by Tantra Entertainment Private limited, in collaboration with former Miss Universe and popular Bollywood actress Sushmita Sen, to send India's representatives to Miss Universe.
After 2012, Sushmita Sen and Tantra entertainment announced they would be relinquishing the license for Miss Universe and hence Miss Diva 2013 was organized by Femina Miss India Organization.
The first ever Miss Diva pageant was held on 5 September 2013 in Mumbai. Fourteen candidates were shortlisted from all across the country to compete at the main event.
Manasi Moghe from Mumbai was crowned the first ever "Miss Diva Universe" by Miss Asia Pacific 1970 and Bollywood actress Zeenat Aman, Gurleen Grewal from Punjab was crowned "Miss Diva International" by Miss Universe Canada 2012, Sahar Biniaz and Srishti Rana from Faridabad was crowned "Miss Diva Asia Pacific World" by Bollywood actress Raveena Tandon.
