Hyderabad, May 16

The 72nd Miss World Festival is currently being held in Hyderabad, and contestants from across the world are enjoying their time in the city.

As the event progressed, several participants shared their experiences in India and how warmly they were received.

Saroop Roshi, who is representing Malaysia, spoke about her favourite Bollywood actor, and who else could it be other than superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Roshi went on to add how special the visit has been for her and praised the people and the hospitality, calling it a "home away from home." She also mentioned being so impressed by the place that she called her mother to share her feelings.

"This is actually my fifth time here in India, but it's my first time in Telangana. It's beautiful. I mean, the people here, the hospitality, the love, you know, it's almost like your home, but away from home. I told my mom even yesterday on the phone, I was like, this is beautiful. You need to come, and she's coming very soon, so I can't wait for her and the rest of my family to experience Telangana," Roshi told ANI.

"...my ultimate favourite is, of course, Shah Rukh Khan. I think if you know Malaysia, you know we are obsessed with Shah Rukh Khan. We're obsessed with all his movies," she added.

Noemie Milne, representing Guadeloupe, is visiting India for the first time. She shared how touched she was by the kindness of the people she met.

"Actually, this is my first time in India and I really love it. Everyone is treating us so well. Actually, it's the first time in my life that I've met people who are so kind and generous," Milne told ANI.

Miss Ireland Jasmine Gerhardt also spoke about her visit. She said this is her second time in India, but her first time in Hyderabad. She expressed amazement at the beauty and sights of the city. She also visited a temple recently and was impressed by its design.

"So, my name is Jasmine Gerhardt, and I am Miss Ireland...I actually have been to India before. It's my second time in India..."

"But I've never been to Hyderabad, so it's nice to see it. It's amazing. I've seen so many beautiful sights, and yesterday we went to an amazing temple. I was so blown away by the infrastructure of the temple and just how impeccable it was. It was insane."

The event is set to conclude on May 31.

SRK's global appeal never fails to amaze me! 😍 From Malaysia to Morocco, the King of Bollywood wins hearts everywhere. So proud to see our culture and hospitality being appreciated by these international guests. Hyderabad is showing India at its best!

As a Hyderabadi, I'm so happy to see our city getting this global recognition! Charminar, biryani, and now Miss World - our city has it all. Hope the contestants try our famous Irani chai before leaving!

While it's great to see positive comments, I wish media would focus more on the contestants' causes rather than just their SRK fandom. Miss World is about beauty with purpose after all. That said, our hospitality does make us proud!

Malaysia's love for SRK reminds me of my trip to Jakarta - his posters were everywhere! Bollywood is truly India's soft power. Hope this event leads to more tourism from these countries. Our "Atithi Devo Bhava" tradition shining through!

The temple comment made me emotional 🥺 Our ancient architecture is world-class yet often underrated. Hope they also visit Warangal Fort - Telangana has so much hidden history beyond just Hyderabad!

Fun fact: Malaysia has a huge Indian diaspora, so their love for Bollywood isn't surprising. But it's heartwarming to see non-diaspora foreigners appreciating our films too. SRK's DDLJ is literally timeless!
