Nandini, who had already earned a place in the Top 40 at the 72nd edition of the contest, was one of the 18 contestants to 'fast track' into this category during the event held on Saturday evening at the Hitex Exhibition Centre in Hyderabad.
However, her journey ended before she could advance further into the final ranks.
The top 8 finalists for Miss World 2025 were revealed, with representatives from various regions of the world making it through. The list includes:
Americas and Caribbean: Brazil, MartiniqueAfrica: Ethiopia, NamibiaEurope: Poland, UkraineAsia and Oceania: Philippines, Thailand
This year's edition is particularly noteworthy as it marks India's second time hosting the prestigious global pageant, further adding to the excitement surrounding the event.
Nandini Gupta, who hails from Kaithun, a small town near Kota in Rajasthan, has been a source of immense pride for the country.
She was crowned Miss India 2023 after winning the Miss Rajasthan title and became a beacon of hope for aspiring young women across the nation.
Coming from a humble background, where her father works as a farmer and her mother is a homemaker, Nandini's journey has inspired many.
The 72nd Miss World contest kicked off earlier this month in Hyderabad, marking a landmark event for both India and the pageant itself.
Last year's 71st edition, which took place in Mumbai, saw Krystyna Pyszkova of the Czech Republic being crowned Miss World.

Manushi Chhillar's Return To Miss World As A Judge Marks An Emotional Homecoming
Last Updated: Manushi Chhillar returned to the Miss World 2025 stage as one of the judges. She was crowned as Miss World in 2017. In what can only be described as a beautiful full-circle moment, Indian actor and model Manushi Chhillar returned to the Miss World stage, but this time in a completely different role. At the 72nd Miss World 2025 pageant that concluded on May 31, 2025, at the HITEX Exhibition Centre in Hyderabad, Telangana, Manushi Chhillar was invited as one of the esteemed judges. The event saw Miss World 2024 Krystyna Pyszková of the Czech Republic crown her successor, Suchata Chuangsri from Thailand, as the winner. For Manushi, this represented a bittersweet and deeply meaningful return to the platform that catapulted her into global fame and recognition when she was crowned Miss World 2017 in China. What made Manushi's role as judge all the more celebratory was the fact that she was once on the opposite side of the very same panel. She took to her Instagram to express how honoured she was to act as a judge at Miss World. She wrote, 'From once being crowned to now judging the competition, honoured to return to the Miss World stage. It's tough being on either side, but felt so nervous and excited for the contestants! Reminded me of my days. An unforgettable night of beauty, purpose, and power, to have been invited onto the judge's panel." Take a look at the post here. Dressed in a red off-the-shoulder floral gown from NEDO by Nedret Taciroglu, Manushi looked like a dream. The red gown came with a fitted bodice that graduated into a voluminous skirt with a thigh high slit. With its floral embellishments and tulle details, the gown exuded a romantic flair. For Manushi, being on the judging panel was more than just a professional milestone, it was a deeply personal and symbolic full-circle moment. From once standing on the stage as a hopeful contestant to now helping crown a new Miss World, her journey reflected growth, resilience, and purpose. Witnessing another young woman's life transform in the same way hers once did stirred powerful emotions, making the experience both humbling and profound. Watch CNN-News18 here.

Binita Chetry receives heartfelt welcome in Assam after Britains Got Talent triumph
Guwahati (Assam) [India], June 2 (ANI): People of Assam, particularly those in the Karbi Anglong district, had reason to celebrate as 9-year-old dance sensation Binita Chetry returned home after clinching third place in the globally acclaimed talent show, Britain's Got Talent. Her extraordinary achievement marked her as the first person from Asia to earn a podium finish in the competition's history. Binita, who has been learning dance since the age of three, was greeted with applause, flowers, and admiration. Among those who welcomed her home was Prem Tamang, Chairman of the Gorkha Development Council, who expressed heartfelt gratitude to her and her supporters. The young dancer hails from the autonomous council region of Karbi Anglong. Her father, Amar Chetry, beamed with pride as he shared her story. "She has been learning dance since she was three years old... She participated in reality shows in Mumbai and in the South. Now she's the second runner-up in Britain's Got Talent. This is not just an achievement for our family but for the whole country," he said. "Thanks to everyone's love and support, she has reached this global stage." Reflecting on her experience, Binita said, "It was a great experience because all the judges were very happy with me. They gave me very good comments, especially Bruno Sir and Simon Sir. They said they had never seen such a performance before." Her dance journey began with lessons from her aunt. She gained early exposure through Indian dance reality shows like 'Super Dancer 4' and 'Dance Deewane Junior', followed by formal training under choreographer Hardik Rawat in Jaipur. She eventually won Dance Icon Season 2, which paved the way for her participation in Britain's Got Talent. Despite her growing fame, Binita continues to manage her academics. Currently in the fifth grade, she shared, "Sometimes, it is difficult but I manage it." Overwhelmed with emotion, Binita extended her gratitude to her family and well-wishers. "Thank you so much to my parents and everyone who supported me since childhood. Thanks to them, I was able to represent India on such a big stage," she said. She also thanked Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for his support. In a message to the people of Assam and her international audience, Binita said, "Thank you, everyone. Though voting was only open in London, people from all over supported me. I got so much love from London and other parts of the world." While she hasn't made concrete plans for her future yet, the young talent remains focused on refining her skills. "I just want to improve my dancing and become better," she said. (ANI)
