Anjanna Kuthiala is Miss India 1975 and a renowned painter who belongs to the Hindu Sood community. She is the grand-daughter of Dev Raj Sood, who was the Joint Editor of The Tribune in the 1960s.

Kuthiala represented India at the Miss World Contest 1975, in London and was a finalist. She is an internationally renowned painter, with 4000 paintings in art collections in India and across the world.

Kuthiala mostly draws portraits of women and these have become a hallmark of her painting style. Her art depicts soft and feminine qualities of women which do not exist in every day, modern reality. Kuthiala's subjects are a combination of East and West, both urban and rural, who don't belong to any one place but a global Indian woman who is the ideal Indian woman, as men would like her to be. There's a certain softness and femininity about her subjects, which is absent in women to a large extent, as today's woman is more aggressive and career oriented.

Kuthiala's paintings were auctioned and sold by Bonhams, London, the World’s oldest auction house and also in Art Exhibitions in Dubai, Singapore and Bangkok.

Kuthiala's humanitarian efforts for NGOS like Helpage, Indian Cancer Society, CRY, Saksham for the Blind and many others have earned her wide respect, not only as a painter but also for her contribution towards women power. Kuthiala auctioned her paintings at an art do in January 2008 in New Delhi, organised to raise funds for HelpAge India. In an unusual initiative in 2009 to raise funds for a social cause, Bollywood directors and actors, tried their hand at painting in Mumbai and these paintings alongwith those of Kuthiala's paintings were auctioned. The proceeds collected from auctioning of these paintings were given to HelpAge India, working for the uplift of the elderly. One of Kuthiala's paintings was auctioned for a fundraiser titled "Fashion Fights Cancer 2008" in New Delhi. Kuthiala is actively involved in humanitarian work and conceptualized and curated a painting exhibition by Saksham (a school for the visually impaired) as a part of a fashion show with a cause. It was aptly titled "Super Star Awards over Fashion Show for a Cause".

Kuthiala is also an event planner of note and has 30 innovative events to her credit. Kuthiala launched ZOYA, the diamond jewellery stores, in collaboration with TANISHQ in Delhi and Mumbai.

Kuthiala collaborated with Shah Rukh Khan and painted 20 paintings of the star, which were unveiled and signed by him. Kuthiala has painted some of the most beautiful faces in Bollywood from Devika Rani to Aishwarya Rai, presenting the changing face of women in Indian cinema. Her paintings can be found diplayed at the Anjanna Kuthiala Art World in Gurgaon, Haryana.
