Being a beauty queen is a privilege that comes only once in a young girl’s life and with such opportunity, any girl would surely seize the moment to have the ultimate time of her life.
This is what Miss World 2017 Manushi Chhilar, an Indian national, believes in.
Prior to her life as a beauty queen, a career as a doctor was ahead of her but she decided to put medical school on hold to give herself that one chance to show the world that she is a beauty with a purpose.

“I had to put in the full focus this deserves,” she said at the official media launch of Mister World at the Grand Ballroom of Marriott Hotel at Resorts World Manila on May 2.
“I’m just 20 and this is my one chance to make a difference and that is why I decided to take a break from medical school. Right now I want to be Miss World and be completely a Miss World and when I go back home after my reign I would give my hundred percent to medical school,” Chhilar added.
This beauty, who comes from a family of doctors, aspires to be a cardiac surgeon. She maintained a good academic standing. But unlike other students who nail themselves in academics, she managed to have extra-curricular activities.
Chhilar is also a trained Indian classical dancer, poet and painter. During the talent round of the Miss India competition, she performed a Bollywood dance number.
Chhilar is not too far from considering being an actress.
“I think it’s quite exciting — the whole industry — and I’m still in the process of learning about it and maybe, yes, because I have been a part of the industry as well now, and they have accepted me with open arms and I have received a lot of love so, yes, maybe in the coming years I might think of showbiz,” she said.
Chhilar came to the Philippines recently for the official announcement of the staging of Mister World 2018 pageant in Manila. She will be back for the competition’s finals night on January 27, 2019.

The Philippines is truly majestic that even foreign nationals get captivated by its beauty.
Miss World 2017 Manushi Chhrilar may be an Indian national but the 20-year-old stunner dreams of getting married at the historic San Agustin Church inside the walled city of Intramuros one day.
Amazing to know that despite being a foreigner, she knows quite a knowledge about the church and its rich history.
She shared why she fell in love with the very nostalgic San Agustin Church.
“About 450 years of legacy of love, first thing, and I hope I get a slot longer than one hour because they told me that it’s difficult to get more than one hour there but I’m gonna make sure the groom is on time and I’m gonna make sure everything happens according to the way I planned it,” she said at the official announcement of the staging of Mister World in the Philippines last May 2 at the Grand Ballroom of the Marriot Hotel at Resorts World.
Although she’s not a Christian by religion, she said she can always can married, however, she wants.
I’m not a Christian though but I really want to get married in that church, it’s beautiful, it’s old, it’s Spanish, it’s traditional. It’s a like a dream place to be. I can get married the way I want to,” she ended.
She also wants to visit the different islands in the Philippines and do some laid back nature-tripping.
The Indian beauty wore a Mark Bumgarner creation during the press conference and confessed that she is a big fan of the famous Filipino designer’s work.
Chhilar will be back in the Philippines for the final night of the much-awaited Mister World pageant on Jan. 27, 2019. /jpv
