Czech Republic's Krystyna Pyszkova
on Saturday won the coveted Miss World 2024 title at a grand event here, which
saw Indian contestant Sini Shetty only making it to the top 8. Miss Lebanon
Yasmina Zaytoun was named the first runner-up.
Reigning Miss World Karolina
Bielawska from Poland crowned her successor at the star-studded finale here. Pyszkova
is the second Miss World from Czech Republic after 2006 pageant winner Tatana
Kucharova.
Bagging the prestigious title is a
dream come true but she was not expecting to win, said Pyszkova, who is in her
20s. At the pageant, her 'Beauty With A Purpose' project centered on
"quality education for children" and the new Miss World said she
would use the platform to further raise awareness for the cause. "So far,
we have helped 320 children. Through the Miss World platform, I’ll be able to
help as many children as possible...
"The Miss World sisterhood is
such an empowering community. I think we will be sharing this moment forever
because we experienced so many things. We experienced this incredible country,
India, together. I'll be happy to come back soon," Pyszkova told reporters
here after the finale.
According to the official Miss
World website, Pyszkova is a Czech model who is pursuing separate degrees in
law and business administration. She is also the founder of the Krystyna Pyszko
Foundation. The model, who is fluent in English, Polish, Slovak, and German
languages, is an advocate for sustainable development through education.
"Her proudest moment was
opening an English school for underprivileged children in Tanzania where she
also volunteered. She enjoys playing the transverse flute and the violin, and
has a passion for music and art having spent nine years in an art academy,"
read Pyszkova's profile on the website. India, which hosted the event after 28
years, was represented by 22-year-old Shetty.
Mumbai-born Shetty, who was crowned
Femina Miss India World in 2022, was bested by Zaytoun who claimed the last
spot in the top 4 of the competition. India has won the title six times --
Reita Faria Powell (1966), Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (1994), Diana Hayden (1997),
Yukta Mookhey (1999), Priyanka Chopra Jonas (2000), and Manushi Chillar (2017).
The 71st Miss World pageant, which
witnessed participation of contestants from 112 countries, was held at the Jio
World Convention Centre in BKC here.
Part of the 12-judge panel for the
finale included film producer Sajid Nadiadwala; actors Kriti Sanon, Pooja
Hegde; cricketer Harbhajan Singh; news personality Rajat Sharma, social worker
Amruta Fadnavis; Vineet Jain, MD of Bennett, Coleman & Co. Limited; Julia
Morley, Chairperson and CEO of the Miss World Organization; Jamil Saidi,
Strategic Partner & Host - Miss World India, and three former Miss Worlds,
including Chillar.
Filmmaker Karan Johar and former
Miss World Megan Young hosted the event, which kickstarted on a high note with
performances by singers Shaan, Neha Kakkar, and Tony Kakkar.
A video message by Chopra Jonas
highlighting the importance of 'Beauty With a Purpose', a tagline associated
with the Miss World pageant, was also played at the event. Earlier, the cast of
Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s maiden web series “Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar"
-- Manisha Koirala, Sonakshi Sinha, Aditi Rao Hydari, Richa Chadha, Sharmin
Segal, and Sanjeeda Sheikh -- walked the stage with 13 fast-track Miss World contestants
on the show's newly released song "Sakal Ban".
The month-long Miss World contest
commenced with "The Opening Ceremony" and "India Welcomes the
World Gala" by the India Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) in New
Delhi on February 20.
It featured a series of rigorous
competitions, including talent showcases, sports challenges, and charitable
initiatives -- all aimed at highlighting the qualities that make these
competitors the ambassadors of change.
The finale was streamed live in
India exclusively on Sony LIV.
