Miss World 2017 is Miss India Manushi Chhillar

And Miss World 2017 is (drum rolling) India!

Miss India, Manushi Chhillar, was crowned 67th Miss World in a glittering finale on Sanya City Arena, Sanya, China on Saturday, November 18, 2017.

This is the 6th time India won the blue crown after Reita Faria Powell (1966), Aishwarya Rai (1994), Diana Hayden (1997), Yukta Mookhey (1999) and Priyanka Chopra (2000).

During the final question and answer, Chillar was asked "Which profession she believes deserved the highest salary?" where she answered, I think a mother deserves the highest respect and when you talk about salary it's not always about cash but I feel it's the love and respect that you give to someone. My mother has always been the biggest inspiration in my life. All mothers sacrifice so much for their kids. So, I think it is the job of a mother that deserves the highest salary.
