Miss World 2025 will showcase Telangana’s beauty to the world: Krystyna Pyszková

Miss World 2024 Krystyna Pyszková explores Telangana's culture ahead of the competition, emphasizing global issues and humanitarian work.

Miss World 2024, Krystyna Pyszková, recently is in Telangana ahead of the 72nd Miss World competition, set to be hosted in the State this May. During her visit, she explored some of the region’s cultural and historical landmarks and interacted with local communities. In an exclusive conversation with The Hindu, she shared her thoughts on the impact of Miss World, her passion for humanitarian work and her memorable experiences in Telangana.

Miss World is a powerful platform that sheds light on important global issues. For young women who want to grow, work on their mission and gain valuable experiences, this competition provides everything they need to amplify their efforts on a global scale. With 140 contestants from different countries coming together, it fosters a unique cultural exchange. It allows participants to connect with different perspectives and grow as individuals. You may never have the chance to visit every country in the world, but through Miss World, you make lifelong connections and gain friends everywhere you go.

We will be showcasing Telangana’s beauty to the world, highlighting everything the State has to offer. Miss World is not just about stunning contestants, it’s about purpose-driven individuals who want to inspire and make a difference. It’s also a grand cultural festival where you can witness the ‘Dances of the World,’ national costumes and unique performances from each contestant. It’s going to be an incredible experience, so I encourage everyone to be part of it.

I am passionate about education. My first project in Tanzania focuses on providing quality education to underprivileged children. We have built a fully equipped school, which has been a long-term goal for me. I also run a project in the Czech Republic that provides craftsmanship training for disabled individuals. Employment is a challenge for them, and I want to help by giving them the skills to create and sell their own products. This initiative not only helps them financially but also gives them a sense of purpose and belonging in the community.

The journey has been amazing. The first day was about exploring Telangana’s hidden gems and its beauty. I visited the Yadagirigutta Temple, Chowmahalla Palace and Falaknuma Palace. I was really happy to do that because I hadn’t had the chance to explore India’s architecture in such detail before. We also had a press conference that was wonderful. On March 21, we marked Environmental Day at KBR Park in Hyderabad, where I spoke with children and planted a tree.

When I visited Delhi and Mumbai, my experience was mostly centered around the competition. We engaged in various challenges and visited different associations, so I didn’t get to explore the architecture much. The atmosphere in both cities was vibrant, lively, and colourful, and the people were very welcoming, just like here in Telangana. However, Telangana truly captivated me. I felt a deep connection to the history and culture here, which made this visit even more special.
