Miss World 2017: After 17 years, Haryana's Manushi Chillar wins the crown for India

Haryana's Manushi Chhillar today won the prestigious Miss World 2017 crown for India at a grand event in China, bringing to an end the country's dry spell of 17 years at the top pageant contest. Priyanka Chopra, now a Bollywood star, won the title for India way back in 2000.
Chillar, 21, competed against 108 contestants from various countries at a glittering event held at Sanya City Arena in China.
Miss World 2016 winner Puerto Rico’s Stephanie Del Valle gave away the coveted crown to the new queen.
While Manushi was crowned the title, Miss Mixico was the first Runner's Up and Miss England was the Second Runner's Up.
Chillar, who hails from Haryana, had earlier this year won the Femina Miss India 2017.
She has become the sixth Indian to be crowned Miss World.
