Rumy Alqahtani has become a trending model lately. Reason? She is the first Miss Universe contestant from Saudi Arabia. "Honored to participate in Miss Universe 2024. This is the first participation of Saudi Arabia in the Miss Universe competition," Rumy wrote on social media, revealing her participation.
Commenting on the development, a Twitter user wrote, "Real Muslim country where Islam was born, Saudi Arabia, is set to participate in the Miss Universe pageant for the first ever. Rumy Alqahtani, the 27-year-old model, will take the stage for SA."
A few years ago, a top Bollywood director tried to rope in Rumy for a major project. Rumy liked the script, a report said at that time. However, she couldn't participate in the shoot after the director opted out of the project. If Rumy secures the top slot in the upcoming beauty pageant, she might land an offer or two from Bollywood.
