The story of Miss Malappuram 2025 winner Archana is evidence of her survivability, inventive nature, and persistence. She grew up in Oman and was introduced to the arts at a very early age. She was motivated by her parents to take up Bharatnatyam dance and Carnatic music, which taught her to be patient, tenacious, and to be proud of her culture. Since then, she has expanded her repertoire by training in Kuchipudi, Mohiniyattam, and several folk dances, making her a multifaceted artist who has earned recognition within the Indian cultural fraternity abroad. Each stage performance helped her overcome fears, refine her presence, and strengthen her connection to her roots, even while living away from her homeland. Her experience in theatre was a breakthrough that allowed her to explore artistic horizons beyond dance and music. Performing leading roles in renowned productions in Oman gave her the confidence to express herself with conviction while also nurturing her leadership skills. In addition to being an artist, Archana became a part of the Saaisha Foundation, and this became the purpose of her life. Through the crochet efforts to support cancer patients, she got an impression about kindness and sacrifice, and how to contribute on the social side using her creative abilities. FSIA City Crown is not only a reward of her outer looks and talent, but also a consideration of her inner strength, caring character, and the willing to see the bright future.
