    Background

    Selection of participants

    The national organization announced the launch of the new edition under state license holders, scheduled to begin in early 2025. Contestants were selected through various state-level competitions, with the winners advancing to the final national event.
    Additionally, a final open audition, independent of state-level selections, was held in June in New Delhi, where participants were chosen as wild card entrants for the finals. A separate group of international contestants holding OCI cards participated in online auditions. Those shortlisted were granted NRI entry into the competition.

    Participants' withdrawals

    In early July, NRI finalists Ghazal Gill and Manju Bangalore withdrew from the competition. Gill cited health-related reasons that prevented her from traveling, while Bangalore did not disclose a reason for her withdrawal. On 5 August, wildcard delegates Varshini Murugan and Shivin Ganesan of Tamil Nadu also withdrew for contractual concerns. On 12 August, Andleeb Zaidi Merchant announced her withdrawal in a video statement, citing what she described as a toxic environment. She had previously shared on social media that she was experiencing cyberbullying.
    On 15 August, hours before the preliminary competition, Maruschka Sahiboe announced her withdrawal via Instagram. She stated that she had not been given sufficient time to review the contract, and after consulting her lawyer and advisers, was advised against signing. According to her, the contract would have bound her to Glamanand "for years under terms that do not align with values, vision and career direction." Shortly after Sahiboe's announcement, another NRI finalist, Chanchal Kaur, also withdrew, citing contractual concerns similar to those raised by Sahiboe.
