In a world where the spotlight often leads to red carpets and fashion runways, Kashish Methwani took a turn that very few expected — and many now admire. Crowned Miss International India in 2023, she was poised to make her mark in the modelling industry, with offers pouring in after her national win. But behind the glamour and grace was a deeper calling — to serve the nation in uniform.
While most would ride the wave of fame, Kashish made a bold decision. She chose to prepare for the Combined Defence Services (CDS) Examination, a highly competitive path to enter India’s defence forces. In 2024, she not only cleared the exam but also secured an All India Rank of 2, a feat that speaks volumes of her discipline, focus, and determination.
Following this achievement, she trained at the prestigious Officers Training Academy (OTA) in Chennai, known for forging some of the Indian Army’s finest officers. After months of rigorous physical, mental, and tactical training, Kashish Methwani has now been commissioned into the Army Air Defence (AAD) — a key arm of India’s defence forces responsible for protecting the skies from enemy aircraft and missiles.
Today, she holds the rank of Lieutenant, trading in her sash for stars, and high heels for combat boots.
Her story is not just one of a career switch — it’s a story of commitment, courage, and clarity of purpose. In choosing the Indian Army over instant fame, Kashish Methwani has emerged as a powerful symbol of what it means to lead with both heart and strength.
For a generation often told to follow the easier path, her journey offers a resounding alternative: chase meaning, not just limelight. Serve, don’t just shine.
She is Lieutenant Kashish Methwani — beauty, brains, and bravery in one formidable force.
