Ladies and Gentleman, the very lovely and intelligent, Anahits Pardis.
What made you compete?
I used to compete in pageants in my late teens, but after some disenchanting experiences, I stepped away from the pageant world. However, I’ve always believed deeply in destiny. The day after the Persian New Year, I received an unexpected phone call inviting me to compete in Miss Summit 2025. I truly believe this is an invitation from the universe, guiding me and directing me on my path.
I feel this opportunity has been gifted to me for a greater purpose, and I’m committed to making the most of it. I feel a strong pull toward a larger mission, and I’ve learned to be open and allow the universe to guide me. In my heart, I know I’m meant to be part of Miss Summit 2025, and I’m excited to see where this journey leads.
What does beauty mean to you?
To me, true beauty lies in the soul. I’m drawn to people who are authentic and there’s something incredibly captivating about someone who is unapologetically themselves. In a world flooded with filters and curated realities, authenticity has become rare, and that makes it all the more valuable.
While physical beauty can be cultivated, it holds little weight without a kind heart and a strong sense of self. I believe in encouraging women to become the full package and not just focusing on outward appearance, but also nurturing their mind and spirit.
To me, that’s what real beauty is: a woman who has elevated herself intellectually, emotionally, spiritually and radiates from the inside out. That’s the ultimate kind of beauty, and the kind I aspire to embody and celebrate in others.
What do you dream of doing in the future, still in the pageant world or not?
After competing in Miss Summit 2025, I dream of becoming a National Director for Iran. Since the beginning of pageantry, there has been a noticeable lack of representation for Iranian women. I would love to create a platform that gives them the voice and visibility they so deeply deserve.
My greater mission in life is to bring pride to my people. That’s why, beyond pageantry, I envision creating the world’s first Persian international film, a story that celebrates our culture and heritage on a global stage. I also want to produce music albums, art, and share the richness of Persian culture with the world in ways that have never been done before.
This has not been an easy path. I’ve had to teach myself photography, scriptwriting, singing, design, and so much more — all in pursuit of a dream bigger than myself. I’ve dedicated my talents and my life to my people, and I will continue to serve, uplift, and inspire in any way I can.
