• In 2018, Tripura Chief Minister Biplab Deb gave a controversial statement against Diana Hayden by saying
  

   Tell me, did she deserve it? People might say I am creating a controversy. I can understand Aishwarya Rai getting it, at least she has traits of Indian beauty.”
  Indian women did not use cosmetics in old times. Indians did not use shampoo, they washed their hair with methi water and bathed with mud. These beauty pageant organisers are international marketing mafia, who spotted a huge market in the country. Today, there is a beauty parlour in every corner of the country.”

  Diana replied to this by saying

  We need to be proud of our skin (colour). God knows, it is appreciated all around the world. Everybody wants to have our skin colour. The last thing we need is our own people not appreciating it.”

  CM Deb added

  For Indians, Goddess Lakshmi and Saraswati exemplify beauty. I don’t understand the beauty of Diana Hayden.”
