Early life and education

Pageantry

Femina Miss India

Main article: Femina Miss India 2017

Chhillar ventured into pageantry with Fashion Big Bazaar sponsored Campus Princess 2016, where she was crowned as one of the finalists from All India Institute of Medical Sciences in December 2016. It was conducted by the Miss India Organization.[15] Thereafter, she went on to win the title of Femina Miss India Haryana in April 2017. Chhillar represented the state of Haryana in the annual Femina Miss India contest.[16] During the competition, Chhillar was crowned Miss Photogenic.[17]

Chhillar, as a top 15 semi-finalist was asked by Karan Johar: "The government is considering to ban surrogacy in India. What is your opinion regarding this?"

I feel everyone in the world should have a right to be a parent. So, instead of banning surrogacy in India, the government should focus on preventing it's exploitation.[18]

During the final question and answer round of Femina Miss India 2017, the top 5 delegates were asked the same question - "You have spent 30 days with 30 fellow contestants at Femina Miss India. What lesson will you take back with you?", to which Chhillar responded:

These days that I have spent with my fellow contestants has been the most dynamic period of my life. The only thing that was certain during the whole experience was uncertainty. The one belief that I would take back with me is that, yes...I can change the world. When I entered Miss India, there was only passion. However, through this journey, I acquired a vision in life. That vision and the belief that I can change the world, is something I'm going to take back with me.[19][20]

She later went on to win the contest's main title Femina Miss India World 2017, in the finale event venued in Yash Raj Film Studio, on 25 June 2017. Thereby, she earned the right to represent India at Miss World 2017.[21][22]

Chhillar's Beauty with a Purpose project was titled Project Shakti. The campaign's goal is to spread awareness about menstrual hygiene.[25] She visited about 20 villages for the project and treated over 5,000 women.[26]

During the final question and answer round, Chhillar was asked - "Which profession should receive the highest salary in the world?" Responding to the same, she answered:

Since I am very close to my mother, I think that a mother deserves the highest respect. When you talk about salary, I don't think it's just about cash, but the love and respect that you give to someone. My mother has been the biggest inspiration in my life. All mothers, they just sacrifice so much for their kids. So, I believe the profession which deserves the highest salary, respect and love should be of a mother.[27][28]

On 18 November 2017, Chhillar was crowned Miss World 2017 by outgoing titleholder Miss World 2016, Stephanie Del Valle from Puerto Rico in the finals in Sanya, China. She became the sixth Indian woman to win the crown, and the first since Priyanka Chopra, Miss World 2000.[29][30]

AIDS awareness among women will be one of the key initiatives of Project Shakti, because I feel women of our country are at risk due to lack of awareness programs. We work with hundreds of women across India and we are looking to educate them about AIDS awareness so that they can convey this message in their respective communities. It is absolutely essential for our country to fight HIV/AIDS and I am looking forward to doing my bit for the cause.[116]

Chhillar collaborated with the UNICEF's campaign to raise awareness on the Coronavirus pandemic.[117] In a video released by UNICEF India, she urged people to stay at home and practice social distancing.[118][119] Chhillar also urged state governments in India to distribute sanitary pads, along with daily ration to the female migrant workers who were prone to severe risks due to shortage of funds in their hands during the migrant labourers' crisis in India, which arose as a result of the strict lockdown imposed to contain the spread of SARS CoV-2.[120]
