An Indian medical student has been crowned Miss World.

The result makes her country the joint-most successful in the beauty pageant’s history.

Manushi Chhillar is the sixth Indian winner of the long-running contest.

Her win brings India level with Venezuela as the countries with most victories in the history of the pageant, now in its 67th edition.

Chhillar, 20, is a trained Indian classical dancer who also enjoys painting and hopes to open a chain of non-profit hospitals in rural areas.

Chhillar was handed the crown by last year’s winner, Stephanie del Valle of Puerto Rico.
