Miss World 2025 Grand Finale Today in Hyderabad: Meet India's Pride – Nandini Gupta

 


The global spotlight is on Hyderabad today, May 31, 2025, as it proudly hosts the grand finale of the 72nd edition of the Miss World pageant. This glamorous and highly anticipated event is taking place at the prestigious HITEX Convention Centre in Telangana, India — and le
ading the charge for the country is none other than Nandini Gupta, our shining star who is representing India on the world stage.

Who Is Nandini Gupta?

Nandini Gupta is not just another beauty queen — she is a symbol of determination, intellect, and grace. Crowned Femina Miss India World 2023, she is now India’s official contender at Miss World 2025. At just 21 years of age, Nandini hails from Kota, Rajasthan, a city better known for its academic coaching centres than for producing beauty queens. Yet, here she is, rewriting the narrative and showing the world that ambition and talent can bloom anywhere.

Born into a modest family — her father a farmer, her mother a homemaker — Nandini’s journey is nothing short of inspirational. She pursued her early education at Saint Paul's Senior Secondary School on Mala Road in Kota and later went on to study Business Management at Lala Lajpat Rai College in Mumbai. Her academic path reflects her passion for leadership, strategy, and entrepreneurship.

“I grew up playing in the fields of mustard, millets, and black chickpeas,” she shared in an interview with SheThePeople. Those humble roots are the foundation of a woman who now stands tall among 108 global contestants, poised to bring the coveted Miss World crown back to India.

A Dream Born in Childhood

For Nandini, the dream of becoming Miss World was born early. “As a 10-year-old, I always wanted to compete in Femina Miss India when I wanted the crown for its beauty,” she recalled in an interview with Femina. “But as I grew older, I realised it is much more than just the crown. It’s a journey that only a few get to experience — a platform that gives you wings to fly high.”

Her story is relatable and powerful. Like millions of young girls across India, she dared to dream. But what makes Nandini special is her unshakable determination to turn that dream into reality — not by luck, but through perseverance and purpose.

Her Inspirations: Ratan Tata and Priyanka Chopra

Nandini's values and vision are deeply inspired by some of India's most respected icons. When asked about the most influential figure in her life, she named Ratan Tata, calling him a philanthropist who “does everything for humanity and donates most of it to charity... loved by millions and always grounded.” This admiration highlights her own commitment to social good and humility.

In the world of beauty pageants and global success, Nandini looks up to Priyanka Chopra, who won the Miss World crown for India in 2000 and went on to become a global superstar. Priyanka's achievements, resilience, and multifaceted career serve as a guiding light for Nandini and countless others.

The Road to Miss World

The Miss World 2025 pageant features 108 contestants from across the globe, all vying for the prestigious title. The reigning Miss World, Krystyna Pyszková of the Czech Republic, will crown her successor tonight in a glittering ceremony. The finale begins at 1:00 pm GMT (6:30 pm IST), and Indian viewers can catch the live stream on SonyLIV.

The event is not just a celebration of beauty, but also of intelligence, compassion, and the ability to make a difference in the world. Contestants participate in various segments, including the Beauty with a Purpose initiative, which showcases their commitment to social causes. Nandini’s advocacy work and community engagement have earned her accolades throughout the competition.

Will India Bring Home the Crown Again?

India has a rich legacy at Miss World, having won the crown six times. The last Indian to win the title was Manushi Chhillar in 2017, who stunned the world with her poise and advocacy for menstrual hygiene. Before her, Priyanka Chopra, Yukta Mookhey, Diana Hayden, Aishwarya Rai, and Reita Faria brought global honor to India.

Tonight, all eyes are on Nandini Gupta as she aims to make it India’s seventh win. Her journey reflects the spirit of modern India — rooted yet ambitious, simple yet sophisticated, and always striving for excellence.

Why Nandini's Story Matters

Nandini’s story is a beacon for young Indians, especially girls from small towns and humble beginnings. She proves that where you come from doesn’t define where you can go. Her dedication to self-growth, education, and social change is as impressive as her poise and beauty.

As we await the final results, one thing is certain — win or not, Nandini Gupta has already made India proud. She has become a symbol of what it means to dream big, work hard, and rise with grace.
