Manushi, 20, is currently studying for a bachelor’s degree in medicine and surgery. She has ambitions to be a cardiac surgeon and would like to open a chain of non-profitable hospitals based in rural areas.


She has a passion for outdoor sports and actively participates in paragliding, bungee jumping, snorkeling and scuba diving. She is a trained Indian classical dancer and enjoys sketching and painting.

Manushi is the sixth Indian to win Miss World in the 67-year-history of the pageant. The last time India was crowned in the same pageant was in 2000 which was won by Priyanka Chopra.

Other candidates who advanced to the Top 10 were delegates from Russia, Indonesia, England, Korea, Jamaica, India, South Africa, Kenya, France and Mexico. A total of 118 contestants vied for the title of Miss World 2017.

In the Top 15 were contestants from Mongolia, Russia, South Africa, El Salvador, Nigeria, India, Mexico, Indonesia, Jamaica, Kenya, France, Japan, England, Macau China and Korea. - ROBERT REQUINTINA
