New Delhi: Krystyna Pyszkova from the Czech Republic clinched the coveted title of the 71st Miss World on Saturday. Besting contestants such as Yasmina Zaytoun from Lebanon, Ache Abrahams from Trinidad and Tobago, and Lesego Chombo from Botswana, Krystyna secured the prestigious crown. Yasmina Zaytoun from Lebanon was adjudged the first runner-up.


Reigning Miss World 2023, Karolina Bielawska of Poland, crowned Krystyna in a ceremony hosted by Bollywood producer-director Karan Johar and Miss World 2013 winner Megan Young.






Miss India Sini Shetty failed to secure a spot in the top four in the beauty pageant. During the competition, Sini was questioned about the role of social media in empowering women globally, and her response may have fallen short of impressing the judges. She asserted that social media possesses the transformative ability to change the world, highlighting its role in fostering increased female participation across various domains. Additionally, she expressed the belief that social media holds the potential to guide the world towards progress.


She lost to Yasmina of Lebanon in the Asia and Oceania category. Shetty was crowned Miss India World in 2022.
