The Miss World's From India so far and what they are doing now
This year too a Miss World has been crowned from India and this is the sixth such occasion for all of us to be proud of her women who have won not only by their obvious outer beauty but also as strong individuals on the inside. Here we take a look at the six Miss World's so far and where they are now.
1966 - Reita Faria
Way back in the sixties when news took its own time to travel Reita Faria made history by becoming the first Miss World from India. The Goa born Reita did not heed the calls from the glamour world but chose to become a doctor and she is now a grandmother settled in Ireland with her family.
1994 - Aishwarya Rai Bachan
After close the three decades Aishwarya Rai broke the shackles to become the Miss World and it took a Mani Ratnam to convince to become an actor (as Jayalalalitha in 'Iruvar) and there was no turning back as she is still the numero uno leading lady of Bollywood after starring in many South and Hollywood films. She is happily married to Abhishek Bachan and has a daughter Aaradya.
1997 - Diana Hayden
Three years after Aishwarya Rai, Dian Hayden won the Miss World contest and the girl from Hyderabad acted in a few films before marrying Americal Collin Dick and settling into marital bliss.
1999 - Yuktha Mookhey
By the time Yuktha Mookhey became the Miss World two years after Diana Hayden, the surprise factor had diminished and we Indians rather got used to it. Like Aishwarya Rai, Yuthka too made her onscreen debut in Tamil 'Poovellam Un Vaasam' and after a brief stint in Bollywood found her love Prince Tuli and has started a family. She is now actively involved in social work for the under privileged.
2000 - Priyanka Chopra
The beginning of a new millennium also saw another Indian beauty crowned the Miss World, Priyanka Chopra who made her debut with Vijay in 'Thamizhan' as an actress and is now the highest paid in Bollywood and one of the most sought after leading ladies in Hollywood.
2017 - Manushi Chillar
This one took a long time coming but the new age beauty Manushi Chillar has just made it as the World's most beautiful and we will have to wait and see what career decisions she is going to make and wish her the very best.
