New Delhi:
Manushi Chillar who clinched the coveted Miss World title at a glittering ceremony in China's coastal city of Sanya is being inundated with heartfelt messages from across the country.
A week after her victory, the newly crowned Miss World has returned to India and received a grand welcome at Mumbai's International Airport with fans from all over India coming in to greet her at the terminal. The beauty landed at the airport on a British Airways flight at 11:55 PM on Saturday.
At the Miss World 2017 event, Manushi competed with 118 contestants from various countries and became the sixth Indian to grab the title. She has brought the crown back to India after a hiatus of 17 years. Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra was the last Indian to win the title in 2000.
Manushi got crowned by Miss World 2016 winner Puerto Rico's Stephanie Del Valle and also won both the Head to Head challenge and the Beauty round during the Miss World 2017 competition.
