The world recently witnessed a historic moment as Thailand celebrated its first-ever Miss World crown, claimed by the radiant and poised Opal Suchata. As Miss World 2025, Opal has been warmly welcomed wherever she travels—but her visit to India seems to have struck a particularly special chord. In a heartfelt interaction with the media, Opal shared her admiration for the country, its people, and even expressed her enthusiasm for working in Hindi films.
A Warm Embrace in India
During her visit to India, Opal spoke candidly about the warmth and kindness she experienced. "It was amazing," she said, reflecting on her time in the country. "Since the first day I was here, everyone has been so nice. People are amazing—they have been so wonderful to me. We went to so many places, all are so beautiful, whether it is infrastructure or nature. It's great to be here and I will definitely be back."
Her glowing words echoed the sentiments of many global visitors who are taken by India's cultural vibrancy, hospitality, and rich heritage. From historic monuments to modern cities, India offered Opal an experience she described as unforgettable.
A Bollywood Debut on the Horizon?
One of the most exciting revelations during her media interaction was Opal’s keen interest in exploring a career in Bollywood. “I feel very happy and proud. It is an honour to take the first Miss World crown to Thailand... I hope I have made them proud,” she said. “If I get the opportunity, I would love to act in Bollywood films; it is a wonderful opportunity.”
Opal's interest in Indian cinema is not only a testament to Bollywood's global influence but also to the growing cultural bridge between nations. With her elegance, charm, and global appeal, it’s easy to imagine her making a seamless transition from the pageant stage to the silver screen.
A Shout-Out to Telangana
Opal extended heartfelt gratitude to the Telangana government for hosting her and the Miss World entourage with such generosity and warmth. “I would like to thank the Telangana government and all the people here for providing us with the best accommodation and allowing us to have such a great time in your home,” she said.
The 2025 edition of Miss World saw Hyderabad, the capital of Telangana, serve as the official venue. The city has been steadily rising in prominence as a global destination for events, and the successful hosting of the Miss World pageant further cements its reputation.
Miss World America Joins the Chorus
Opal wasn’t the only one singing praises for India. Jessica Pedroso, Miss World America 2025, also expressed her admiration for Hyderabad. She called the city "the best place for Miss World to be held" and delighted in trying local delicacies—especially butter chicken, which she described as "so amazing."
Jessica’s remarks further highlight the global spotlight shining on India, with Hyderabad emerging as a proud ambassador of Indian culture, cuisine, and hospitality.
A Bittersweet Outcome for India
While Thailand is celebrating its historic win, India experienced a moment of mixed emotions. Nandini Gupta, the nation’s representative at Miss World 2025, made an impressive journey to the Top 40, earning her spot through early standout performances and fast-track events. However, she could not advance to the Top 8 finalists, leaving many Indian fans hopeful yet disappointed.
Despite not making it to the final round, Nandini's presence was strong and inspirational. Her achievements in the earlier stages of the competition were commendable and speak volumes about her grace and determination. With her talent and charisma, she will undoubtedly continue to make waves on national and international platforms.
A New Era for Miss World
The 2025 Miss World pageant marks not just a celebration of beauty, but also one of international friendship and cultural exchange. Opal Suchata’s crowning moment is emblematic of a new era where global icons use their platform to build bridges, share stories, and inspire millions.
Her admiration for India, her openness to Bollywood, and her heartfelt gratitude for her hosts reflect the spirit of Miss World—grace, goodwill, and global unity.
Final Thoughts
As Opal Suchata returns to Thailand with the Miss World 2025 crown, she leaves behind a trail of admiration and goodwill in India. Her genuine appreciation for the people and culture of the country, and her expressed interest in Bollywood, may just be the beginning of a new chapter—one that could see this global beauty queen lighting up cinema screens across India.
For now, India waves goodbye to Miss World 2025 with fond memories and hopeful anticipation—perhaps the next time we see Opal, it’ll be in a film set in Mumbai, dancing to the beat of Bollywood.
