In the vibrant city of Mumbai, Priyanka Chopra delivered a resounding tribute to Nita Ambani through a video message presented at the grand culmination of the Miss World 2024. This prestigious event unfolded at the Jio World Convention Centre on a Saturday night, where Nita was bestowed with the distinguished Humanitarian Award.
Priyanka commenced her oration by delving into the tapestry of her upbringing, eloquently expounding on the profound impact of her progenitors. Speaking from the United States via a video message during the 71st Miss World finale in Mumbai, Priyanka artfully conveyed her sincere musings. She extolled Nita Ambani for her multifaceted accomplishments and unwavering commitment to altruistic endeavors.
The thespian also took a stroll down memory lane to her formative years, reminiscing about observing her parents, Dr. Madhu Chopra and her father, both venerable Indian Army physicians. Beyond fulfilling their professional obligations, Priyanka witnessed them actively engrossed in benevolent pursuits, extending medical aid to those in dire need. She underscored the profound significance of purpose in her own life and duly recognized the profound impact of influential women who have indelibly shaped her journey.
In recognizing the import of the Miss World Organization and its astute CEO, Julia Morley, Priyanka attributed her transformative Miss World experience in 2000 to the introduction of the concept of “beauty with purpose.” She accentuated Morley’s fervent emphasis on leveraging the platform for advocating substantive change, an inspiration that impelled her to embrace her intrinsic sense of duty.
Shifting her focus towards Nita Ambani, Priyanka eulogized her as an extraordinary individual whose eminence she has admired for an extended duration. She lauded Nita’s fervor, dedication, and meticulous attention to detail across a spectrum of pursuits, recognizing her roles as an educator, philanthropist, business luminary, and advocate for Indian arts and culture. Priyanka celebrated Nita’s ceaseless endeavors in spotlighting India’s cultural heritage on the global stage, underscoring her embodiment of the “beauty with purpose” ethos.
The Miss World 2024 extravaganza marked India’s resurgence as the host country after a hiatus of 28 years. Although India’s representative, Sini Shetty, secured a position in the top 8, the coveted title was clinched by Krystyna Pyszkova from the Czech Republic. The last instance of India hosting the event transpired in 1996, with Irene Skliva of Greece emerging victorious.
