The 72nd edition of the Miss World pageant is set to take place in Telangana this May, marking a significant global event for India. The state government is actively preparing to welcome contestants and dignitaries from around the world.
Miss World 2023 Expresses Excitement
Reigning Miss World 2023, Krystyna Pyszkova from the Czech Republic, along with Julia Morley CBE, Chairman and CEO of the Miss World Organization, visited Hyderabad to review arrangements and expressed their excitement about India hosting the prestigious competition.
Speaking to media, Pyszkova shared her admiration for India’s vibrant culture and its role in the Miss World journey:
“…I love the Indian sparkle that the last edition had, and it will be just amazing, as I said, and India has a lot to offer this time… As you may know and have heard, Miss World is about actually doing the action, not only the talking, so in all of the states we’re visiting, we’re trying to find some project. We’re trying to be helpful. I visited the temple, which was a magical experience. I always dreamt of going to the Hindu Temple to see how it is, and my dream came true yesterday. I received a lot of blessings…”
Reflecting on last year’s Miss World event, held at Mumbai’s Jio World Convention Centre in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), Pyszkova praised India’s hosting abilities:
“I love the Indian sparkle that the last edition had, and it will be just amazing, as I said, and India has a lot to offer this time.”
As the winner of the 71st Miss World pageant, Pyszkova will play a key role in promoting the values and initiatives of the competition as it returns to India.
Miss World CEO Julia Morley Praises India’s Hospitality
Julia Morley CBE, Chairman and CEO of the Miss World Organization, also lauded India’s warm hospitality:
“…Every time we come to India, we always have a special welcome. People from all of the countries around the world feel happy here, and everyone tries their best.”
She further added:
“It’s like a big family in the end. India welcomes its visitors, and they treat us with great love and respect. We do the same. There’s an incredible respect that you don’t demand; you earn.”
With India set to host Miss World 2025, the country is gearing up to showcase its rich culture, hospitality, and organizational excellence to the world.
