All Roads Lead to Hyderabad for the Miss World Grand Finale
The countdown is on in Telangana, India, as the stage is set for the 72nd edition of the Miss World pageant. The final show will take place on Saturday, May 31, at the Hyderabad International Trade Expositions Centre (HITEX), where over a hundred dazzling contestants will gather under one roof.
