Chhillar’s victory quickly turned into the best trending topic on the social media in India after the declaration, with Manohar Lal Khattar – the priest of her home province of Haryana – among the first to offer congrats. Chhillar was given the crown by the year ago’s champ, Stephanie del Valle of Puerto Rico, at the service in the Chinese beachfront city of Sanya on Saturday night. Stephanie Hill of England and Andrea Meza of Mexico completed as sprinters up. Saturday denoted the Miss World show’s arrival to Sanya, on southern China’s Hainan Island, for the seventh time, where the occasion was last held in 2015.
