Samira Khan Mahi, a well‑known face from the popular Mahira TV drama, has been selected to represent Bangladesh at the 75th Miss Universe competition. The pageant will be held in Puerto Rico, with the preliminary rounds beginning on 11 November and the grand finale scheduled for 24 November. Mahi was crowned Miss Universe Bangladesh 2026 during a grand ceremony held last Saturday night. The title was awarded through a selection process similar to previous years. She will be crowned by Tanazia Jahan Mithila, who represented Bangladesh at Miss Universe the previous year and will serve as Mahi’s mentor and guide in preparing for the international stage. “I am excited to showcase my country’s culture on an international platform,” Mahi said. “It is a great responsibility, and I will do my best to bring the flag of Bangladesh forward. I ask for everyone’s prayers and support.” Mahi has been acting in television dramas for more than five years and has also appeared in several online streaming productions. Her career began in modeling, where she worked in fashion shows, runway events, advertising campaigns, and photo shoots. She noted that while her work as a regular actress has earned her a lot of love, the opportunity to represent Bangladesh at Miss Universe is a different and significant platform. “When the invitation came, I wondered if it was the right step. Later I realized it was the right one. As an actress and model, if I cannot represent my country in such a competition, my value as an artist would be diminished,” she said. The announcement has sparked discussions and criticism on social media, with some questioning the suitability of a television actress for the pageant. Mahi responded by emphasizing her commitment to cultural representation and her desire to use the platform to promote Bangladesh. Mahi’s friendship with Tanazia Jahan Mithila, who will be her mentor, has been highlighted as a supportive element in her preparation. The two have maintained a close relationship since Mithila’s reign as Miss Universe Bangladesh 2025. Article source: Ajker Patrika | Image credit: Ajker Patrika
