She has a beauty pageant background and is currently the global ambassador for Smile Asia charity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Represented by Horipro media and news company, the television personality is a 28-year-old Japanese interpreter from Tokyo, Japan. Her parents are Arun Ghosh, from Bengali, India, and Japanese-born mother Naoko Ghosh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a famous link, Priya&#8217;s great-grandfather&nbsp;Prafulla Chandra Ghosh&nbsp;was a politician and the first&nbsp;Chief Minister&nbsp;of the Indian&nbsp;state of&nbsp;West Bengal. Born in Tokyo, she later lived in&nbsp;Sacramento, California, from six to nine years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Priya, who also lived in&nbsp;Kolkata&nbsp;for one year before returning to&nbsp;Japan, launched her own skincare brand in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/TryScience\/status\/1491302311658127361\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-her-beauty-pageant-career\">Her beauty pageant career<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>From 2016 to 2017, Priya held the title for Miss World Japan. She is the second h\u0101fu woman &#8211; meaning half Japanese &#8211; to be Miss Japan after Ariana Miyamoto, who won the Miss Universe Japan title in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before becoming Miss World Japan on September 6th 2016, she worked as a translator and art therapist, and also has a license to train elephants. She competed at the&nbsp;Miss World 2016&nbsp;pageant on December in the&nbsp;United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Placing in the top 20, Priya&#8217;s win saw her promise to continue the fight against racial prejudice in Japan. She was just 22 years old at the time of her crown!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Priya is absolutely stunning.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/LoveIsBlindJapan?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#LoveIsBlindJapan<\/a><\/p>&mdash; lilackay (@YeahLindaK) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/YeahLindaK\/status\/1491148577837809665?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 8, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/talent-shows\/rupauls-drag-race\/canadas-drag-race-cast\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>MEET THEM:<\/strong><\/a> The full list of Canada&#8217;s Drag Race cast of queens<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-peek-at-priyanka-s-instagram\">A peek at Priyanka&#8217;s Instagram<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Priya proudly refers to <em>Love is Blind: Japan<\/em> in her Instagram bio, as well as her list of achievements. We found out that she is the CEO and founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mukoomi\/?hl=en\">Mukoomi<\/a>, a CBD skincare brand &#8216;rooted in diversity and inclusion&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From eating out regularly to working out, exercise and food are clearly her passions. We also saw that she follows Billie Eilish and Rihanna, which suggests a pop-filled music taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting down to the most important part though is that there are no pictures of her and Mizuki on her profile, but this is likely down to not wanting to spoil the series for Netflix viewers, and is usually down to a contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CZqyrxKPvVg\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
