At the grand finale of the 71st edition of the pageant, being held in India after 28 years, Shetty was bested by Miss Lebanon Yasmina Zaytoun who made it to the top 4 of the contest on Saturday.

It was hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar and Megan Young, winner of Miss World 2013 pageant.

Chhillar was the most recent Indian to win the pageant. Earlier, Reita Faria Powell, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Diana Hayden, Yukta Mookhey and Priyanka Chopra Jonas won the competition for the country.

India last hosted the Miss World pageant in 1996, which saw Irene Skliva of Greece emerge as the winner.
