In photos: Homecoming parades welcome the beauty queen.
Miss World 2017 Manushi Chhillar during a homecoming parade at the DRDO Complex Timarpur in New Delhi yesterday.
Chhillar has already been to Delhi after winning the Miss World pageant, but this was different. This welcome ceremony was attended by the neighbours and friends she grew up with.
'I am finally back home and I have been thinking about coming here since I came back to Delhi,' the Times of India quoted her as saying. 'I am so happy to see that everyone's so excited. They all have seen me growing up and have been a part of my journey. We all are a part of one big DRDO family and each one has contributed a lot in helping me achieve this.'
