A proud moment for the country, wishes started pouring in for the beauty pageant runner-up on social media from all quarters.
On the occasion, actor Celina Jaitly, who won Miss India in 2001 and was 4th runner-up at Miss Universe 2001, and Rochelle Rao Sequeira, who was crowned Miss India International in 2012, took to social media to recall and former beauty pageant days and congratulate Adline.
Sharing a photo of herself clad in a bikini while striking a pose for the shutterbugs in the backdrop of the pristine location of Puerto Rico adjacent to a picture of Adline from the 2020 Miss Universe contest, Celina wrote, "When I became Ms Universe 2001 - Runners Up, I did not realise it would take 20 years for India to reach this position again. Hearty congratulations to @adline_castelinofficial on nailing the runners up for India, congratulations @missdivaorg @missindiaorg Its great to see India back in the game.
