The highly anticipated Miss World 2023 is set to take on a dynamic new format as it returns to India after a hiatus of 27 years. Departing from the traditional single-city setup, the forthcoming edition is expected to embark on a captivating nationwide journey, embracing diverse locations for its events.
A significant stride in this endeavour was recently witnessed when the reigning Miss World, Karolina Bielawska, along with the Miss World team, undertook a momentous one-day expedition to the scenic region of Kashmir. This strategic move, aimed at altering the global perception of the picturesque land, garnered praise from Karolina herself. She expressed her confidence that the participants would carry home heartwarming narratives, dispelling any misconceptions perpetuated by the international media.
Bollywood dreams
Karolina Bielawska, a Poland-born icon in the making, is not only a symbol of beauty but also an advocate for cultural exchange. She professed her aspiration to embrace the rich tapestry of India by exploring its vibrant cities such as Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Agra. Her genuine interest in Indian cuisine, especially her fondness for Butter Chicken, adds a personal touch to her cultural immersion. She humorously mentioned her wish to try out more Indian dishes, even expressing hope that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan might introduce her to his favorite dish, Tandoori Chicken
In a delightful revelation, Karolina divulged her dream of collaborating with the former Miss World and international sensation, Priyanka Chopra, in cinema. Describing Priyanka as an "icon," Karolina's eyes shine with the prospect of working alongside the accomplished actor-producer. Akin to Priyanka, Karolina aspires to bridge the gap between beauty pageants and the world of cinema.
Reflecting on her brief sojourn to Kashmir, Karolina's enthusiasm for India's diversity and hospitality is palpable. Clad in the traditional Kashmiri pheran, she and Miss World Organization CEO, Julia Morley, embraced the local culture, celebrating the warmth of the people and the scenic beauty.
The decision to host the Miss World 2023 in India stems from the nation's renowned hospitality and values. Karolina acknowledged India's diverse landscapes and unwavering spirit of kindness, making her feel right at home. With India boasting six Miss World titles, Karolina's sentiments resonate with the special bond the pageant shares with the country.
As the 71st Miss World event readies itself to host nearly 140 countries, Karolina's words capture the excitement of showcasing India's beauty and culture on a global stage. Her appreciation for India's advancements in science, space exploration, and her heartfelt commendation of India's space mission, Chandrayaan-3, demonstrates her deep admiration for the country.
