Note: Pankhuri Gidwani's beautiful smile, toned body and kind nature will win your heart!
Lucknow-based Pankhuri Gidwani is just 18 but is already an Internet sensation.
A second runner up at Femina Miss India Grand 2016, Gidwani is all set to make India proud at the prestigious pageant Miss Grand International.
She'll be competing with 84 divas from across the globe on October 25 in Las Vegas, United States.
She's the youngest beauty queen representing the country on an international platform after Priyanka Chopra.
While we all wish for her victory, here are some pictures that prove she rightly deserves to win the title.
