The 23-year-old Miss India Wolrd 2020 Manasa Varanasi is a Computer Science graduate from Vasavi College of Engineering and enjoys exploring the world of finance. The beauty queen hails from Hyderabad and is associated with less-fortunate kids over the past few years to bring about a positive change in society. 

Miss India World 2020 has also launched 'We Can' campaign in association with Hyderabad Police. The campaign is to prevent and stop sexual abuse of children in the state. 

Manasa Varanasi is influenced by her mother, grandmother, and younger sister and draws inspiration from the Miss World 2020 Priyanka Chopra Jonas.

"Of all the beauty queens, Priyanka Chopra stands out to me because she's an explorer - she has always chosen to push her boundaries and made her mark in various spaces - music, movies, entrepreneurship, social work, and the list goes on. Also, as a shy kid who tried to make herself heard, I always looked up to Priyanka for the outspoken badass that she was. It's her versatility and strength that I draw inspiration from," Miss India World 2020 Manasa Varanasi was quoted as saying by India Today.

While speaking about working with Bollywood, Varanasi said, "I am an explorer and I have always looked for new opportunities to try something new. If there is something interesting that comes along the way, I am sure I would be interested to take it up, but right now, my focus is entirely on the next leg of my journey, which is the Miss World competition. It's a huge responsibility as I would be representing the country on an international platform."

She is an avid reader, loves yoga and music. Her favourite quote is: "Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" 

From being a shy person to competing at an international beauty pageant, Miss India World 2020 Manasa Varanasi has come a long way. We wish her all the best for the upcoming Miss World 2021 finale.
