The 20-year-old medical student from Haryana had won Femina Miss India World 2017 in May this year.
The announcment was made on the pageant’s official Twitter handle.
“The winner of Miss World 2017 is Miss India Manushi Chhillar,” the tweet said.

Manushi had made it to the top 5 along with contestants from England, France, Kenya and Mexico.
