Miss India World Navneet Kaur Dhillon failed to make it to the 'Top 10' of Miss World 2013 pageant in Bali today.
The 21-year-old Indian beauty walked away with the title of 'Miss Multimedia', an award for managing the web section of the Miss World in the best possible way through status updates, photos and videos, after beating Miss Thailand Kanyaphak Phokesomboon and Miss Nepal Ishani Shrestha.
Navneet's page has so far got 1, 21,725 likes, which was achieved with status updates, interactive photo posts and stunning cover pictures.
"I strongly believe in improving the lives of less privileged and it is for this reason that I have been a part of many social endeavors... I dedicate my success to my loving parents who are the pillars of my strength and it is this strength that gives me the confidence and determination to represent my country on this global stage.
"Winning the crown will be a dream come true and it will give me a platform to improve the lives of less privileged in my country and people around the world. I hope to make my country proud," she wrote on her page.
Haryana born Navneet was the winner of Pond's 50th edition of Femina Miss World India 2013 that took place in Mumbai in March.
Navneet was being touted as one of the probable winners and expected to bring back the title home after a gap of more than a decade. Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra last won the title for India in 2000.
The Miss World 2013 was first introduced by the Miss World Organization in 2012.
