Maria Thattil

'Dark everything... it's too much.' For years I was told I was 'too exotic' to model in Australia.

Maria was the shortest contestant at Miss Universe 2020. Not everyone wanted her there.

'You're so beautiful for an Indian': Sometimes it’s the ‘compliments’ that hurt the most.

"People are saying I'm 'not Australian enough' to be our Miss Universe."
