Mumbai: Miss Thailand Opal Suchta Chuangsri, who was crowned as the winner of the 72nd Miss World Pagent, revealed that she likes to see Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt in “Gangubai Kathiawadi”. She also expressed praise for former Miss Worlds Priyanka Chopra and Manushi Chiller.
Talking about her favorite Indian Miss World, Chuangsri told IANS: “It’s a difficult! I really met one of my favorite today – Mannushi Chhilar. I also really praise Priyanka Chopra. I love both of them very much.”
She went to speak about Bollywood actresses and Indian films.
“I know Alia Bhatt! I saw her in Gangubai Kathiawadi- Oh my God, I loved it. It was very inspiring. I also know Bahubali! I have not seen it yet, but I have gone to Ramoji Film City, and I promised myself that I will see it after the competition.
After the crown, the beauty queen called it the “best day” of her life.
“This is a huge milestone – not only for me individually, but also for my” beauty with a purpose “and people of Thailand. I am incredibly proud, especially now that Thailand is recognized on the Miss World Stage.”
“This is our first Miss World Crown, and we have waited for more than seventy years for it. I really believe that my people are feeling as proud as I am.”
He said that he worked very hard to win.
“I wouldn’t say that it was negatively difficult, because when something really matters to your heart, the effort becomes worthwhile. But yes, honestly, it was not easy to win a title like Miss World. So this victory matters a lot, especially being the first crown for Thailand.”
During his stay in India, did he get to try any Indian food or cultural dress, Chuangsri said: “Yes, I did it! I tried to wear a sari and also enjoyed some Indian cuisine – it was amazing.”
Now that you have won, the challenge is often in maintaining that success, what is his plans ahead: “This is something that people often think – how to maintain fame or success with only one year during your reign. But I believe it is not only about that one year. It is about the effect you have.”
“If you make something meaningful, then something that touches life, then your heritage lasts for a long time after passing your crown. For me, this is the correct definition of success.”
Asked if she sees any similarity between Thai and Indian film industries, the beauty queen shook her head and said yes.
“Thai film industry is also very large. Thai people love films and TV series, and our crew-actor, actress, professional-are very talented. We are very talented. We expect to produce even more high quality materials to enjoy the world,” she said.
She is now considering acting in Thai plays or Hindi series.
“Of course! I grew up seeing Thai plays – they are very close to my heart. It will be a great opportunity to be a part of that world, whether it is Thai or Hindi content,” she said.
