Family background
Alankrita Sahai was born on April 14, 1994, in New Delhi, India, into a close-knit family that provided a nurturing environment during her formative years.[12] Her father, Anup Sahai, was a significant influence in her life until his passing from cardiac arrest on January 2, 2022; he accompanied her during key phases of her early career pursuits and was described as a father figure to her friends as well.[13][14] She has a sister, Apurvah Sahay Aarzoo, who has supported her professionally as her manager and collaborated with her on initiatives like distributing oxygen cylinders during the COVID-19 crisis.[15][16] Her mother, whose name has not been publicly disclosed, played a pivotal role in instilling resilience and independence, protecting the family from external challenges posed by extended relatives and granting her daughters the freedom to pursue their ambitions at a time when such support was uncommon for women.[17] Raised in New Delhi, Sahai grew up in a supportive household that encouraged her involvement in extracurricular activities, including beauty pageants, despite initial surprise from her parents at her career shift from corporate aspirations to the public eye.[14] Her parents trusted her judgment and stood firmly by her side amid backlash from extended family members, fostering an environment where she could explore her interests without undue restrictions.[14][17] This backing was particularly evident during her Miss India journey, when she lived with her father, who provided emotional stability as she navigated the demands of competitions.[14]Education

The event, held in Manila, Philippines, from November 19 to 29, featured pre-pageant challenges emphasizing environmental awareness, such as eco-beauty assessments and advocacy presentations, which aligned with Miss Earth's core mission of promoting sustainability. Sahai navigated these demanding activities, including swimsuit and evening gown competitions, while competing against 80 delegates from around the world.[22][23] Sahai's performance at Miss Earth 2014 was notable, as she became one of the most awarded Indian contestants, winning multiple special titles.

These victories, achieved without placing in the top elemental positions, highlighted her versatility and dedication, facing the pressure of high-stakes international scrutiny and the need to balance physical presentation with substantive environmental messaging.
