Miss World 2024: Navjot Kaur, a 27-year-old ex-police officer from New Zealand, is gearing up for a remarkable journey as she prepares to represent her country at the prestigious Miss World competition in India. Born and raised in New Zealand, Navjot's roots trace back to Jalandhar, Punjab, as her parents hail from India. Her swift ascent to the title of Miss World New Zealand just two weeks ago came as a surprise, considering the rigorous journey many contestants undertake for years.

Navjot's diverse background and desire to explore new horizons led her to transition from serving as a police officer in South Auckland to embracing the world of beauty pageants. Reflecting on her unconventional career shift, Navjot expressed her eagerness to try something different, eventually finding success in the pageant circuit. Her familiarity with Hindi and Punjabi has been a significant asset, especially as she anticipates competing in India.

Excited about her upcoming trip to India, Navjot plans to delve into her heritage by exploring Jalandhar and visiting iconic landmarks like the Golden Temple in Amritsar and the Taj Mahal in Agra. Embracing the warmth and hospitality of India, she finds herself enchanted by the culture and eager to introduce her fellow contestants to traditional Indian delights like pani puri.
