Manushi is a complete package of beauty with brains.

Post her magnificent win, Manushi said, The feeling is still sinking in but I'm very excited to make India proud too. I'm also looking forward to the year ahead. My parents have always been my pillar of support and having them here tonight by my side has only brought me more strength and joy. My final answer also came to me by having them here with me in front of me.
Manushi succeeds Miss World 2016 Stephanie Del Valle from Puerto Rico. At the same event, Stephanie Hill from England was adjudged first runner up and Andrea Meza from Mexico was adjudged second runner up.
