AdminIn a historic moment that sent waves of pride through Malaysia, 22-year-old Manvin Khera emerged victorious as the first-ever Malaysian representative to be crowned The Miss Globe 2023. The prestigious international beauty pageant witnessed Manvin’s triumph over 50 other competitors on Friday, November 17, at the Sports Palace in Durrës, Albania.
Hailing from Kuala Lumpur, the model and aspiring lawyer stepped into the shoes of the previous year’s winner, Anabel Payano from the Dominican Republic. Manvin’s win wasn’t just a personal accomplishment; it marked a significant milestone for Malaysia on the global stage.
The competition was fierce, with beauties from around the world vying for the coveted title. Katia Agbodo Rodriguez of Spain secured the first runner-up position, while the second, third, and fourth runners-up spots went to Anna Valencia Lakrini of the Philippines, Duru Esther Chidera of Nigeria, and Kirstin Yvonne Bangs of the USA, respectively.
Manvin’s path to the Crown
The road to victory for Manvin wasn’t without its challenges. The Miss Globe pageant featured several challenges, with contestants having to excel to qualify for the Top 15 and Top 5 rounds. Manvin captured the hearts of the jury from the get-go, impressing them in the swimsuit round. Not only did she clinch the crown, but Manvin also earned the title of Miss Talent.
Manvin’s composure and eloquence shone through during the question and answer session, a crucial segment of any beauty pageant. When posed with the question, “What is one lesson you learned as a child that still affects you today?” Manvin delivered a winning response, demonstrating maturity beyond her years. “Every single one of us grows every single day, and I have learned from my mistakes. I believe that failure is the key to success. Every time I fall, I tell myself, ‘Manvin, you’ve got to get up stronger and go out there and put yourself out there. Because I believe that when you fall seven times, you get up eight. And when you do that, you become unstoppable and unbeatable, thank you.'”
