Bhasha Mukherjee, a 23-year-old Indian-origin doctor was crowned Miss England on Friday, 2nd August.
According to reports, Bhasha, who holds two different medical degrees, has an IQ of 146, just 14 points less than that of Einstein.
This officially makes her a genius as people having an IQ between 140-145 are considered genius. Not just this, she is also fluent in 5 different languages.
Talking to media before the contest, she said:
“Some people might think pageant girls are airheads, but we all stand for a cause. My pageant career all started to happen while I was in the middle of studying at medical school – it took a lot of convincing for me to do it, but eventually I decided to do it to balance out my studying and give me a break.”
Bhasha was born in India and her family relocated to the UK when she was 9.
She completed 2 bachelor degrees – one in Medical Sciences and other in Medicine & Surgery from the University of Nottingham.
According to Daily Mail, she joined as a junior doctor hours after winning the crown.
“It’s been really nerve wrecking, I couldn’t tell if I was more nervous about the competition or about starting my job as a junior doctor.”
She will now participate in the Miss World contest in December 2019, in London.
