MUMBAI — Thailand's Opal Suchata Chuangsri, who won the title of Miss World 2025, has said that grit and determination are
the two words she lives by.
Soon after
her title win in Hyderabad, Telangana, she sat down to speak with the media.
She shared
the mantras that form the backbone of her professional life, confidence,
determination, and compassion.
Sharing her
formula for success, she told the media, "Always believe in yourself.
Stick to your core values. I'm here today because I held onto my purpose and believed
in myself. Also, don't forget to love yourself along the journey."
"It's
not always easy -- it can be exhausting and discouraging at times. But if you
never give up, you'll eventually get to where you're meant to be," she
added.
Opal
Suchata Chuangsri was crowned Miss World 2025 in Hyderabad on Saturday.
She edged
out Hasset Dereje Admassu of Ethiopia in the grand finale as the latter emerged
as the runner-up.
For the
ceremony, Suchata donned a white gown adorned with opal-like florals.
The gown
symbolised both healing and strength.
The event
saw the reigning Miss World Krystyna Pyszkova from the Czech Republic pass on
her crown to the new titleholder.
Chuangsri
beat 107 other national winners from around the world. This marks Thailand's
first win in the beauty pageant arena.
India's
hopes to get the coveted title were crushed in early rounds as Nandini Gupta,
who represented India, failed to enter the Top 8 finalists.
