 India's hopes were dashed early on into the 61st Miss World 2011 pageant as Kanishtha Dhankhar, the country's bet for the crown, failed to make it into the short-list of the top 15 semi-finalists.

Priyanka Chopra won the Miss World crown in 2000. Since then no Indian contestant could get the title. India ranks amongst the top 3 nations who have five Miss World crowns to their credit. The other two countries are Venezuela and United Kingdom.
