Sixth Miss World win draws India level with Venezuela


An Indian medical student was crowned Miss World at a glitzy event in a Chinese resort on Saturday, making her country the joint-most successful in the beauty pageant’s history.

Manushi Chhillar is the sixth Indian winner of the long-running contest, following in the footsteps of Bollywood actresses Priyanka Chopra and Aishwarya Rai.

Her win brings India level with Venezuela as the countries with most victories in the history of the pageant, now in its 67th edition.

Chhillar, 20, is a trained Indian classical dancer who also enjoys painting and hopes to open a chain of non-profit hospitals in rural areas, according to the Miss World website.

"Thank you, everyone, for your constant love, support,” and prayers she wrote on Twitter. “This one’s for India.”

Chhillar’s victory rapidly became a top trending topic on the social media platform in India after the announcement, with Manohar Lal Khattar -- the minister of her home state of Haryana -- among the first to offer congratulations.

Chhillar was handed the crown by last year’s winner, Stephanie del Valle of Puerto Rico, at the ceremony in the Chinese coastal city of Sanya on Saturday night.

Stephanie Hill of England and Andrea Meza of Mexico finished as runners-up.

Saturday marked the Miss World pageant’s return to Sanya, on southern China’s Hainan Island, for the seventh time, where the event was last held in 2015.

At the previous occasion two years ago, controversy erupted as officials in Hong Kong stopped Miss Canada, Anastasia Lin, from boarding a plane bound for Sanya, telling her she would not receive a visa.

The 25-year old actress claimed the decision was due to her stance on China’s human rights record, including its persecution of Falun Gong, a Chinese spiritual group of which she is a practitioner.

At last year’s event in the United States, Lin was again embroiled in controversy when pageant officials reportedly warned her against speaking to the press for three weeks about human rights abuses in China.

Lin did not participate in this year’s event, with Canada represented instead by Cynthia Menard, a high school student.

Paying for Advertisements

My full-time job is now subsidising for my part-time e-commerce store and advertisements. I even had a book published on Amazon since 2014 with a few sales. Not enough to bring in the constant dough, even though I had paid thousands to self-publish. Quite soon, I have to create calendars again to send out to 50 existing clients and no longer print out 100 copies and send to poor clubs in the villages with no finances to install sports courts. Hence, should my partner retires, then I can fully concentrate on my e-commerce store and bring it to the next level and millionaire sales.

So much to learn about e-commerce

Setting up your own Shopify store is not sufficient to bring in the big bucks. You need a mentor like Mike Young or someone that he had coached to bring you to the next level of success! All of us need mentors! Warren Buffet had his mentor, and so did many other successful billionaires and businessmen. I am considering of investing in a mentor to help set up my Shopify store which is currently a general store and scale it up 3 - 4 times the revenue. At the same time, I might consider hiring a virtual assistant to help me in this e-commerce as I have a full-time job that is lucrative working for a friend in a home office.
