Anzhelika Tahir who hails from Kyiv, Ukraine is now set to represent Pakistan at Miss Grand International 2016 to be held in Bangkok, Thailand later this year. 

The beauty queen is not new to the pageant world. Earlier she has bagged many titles such as, Miss Pakistan World 2015/2016 and Miss Pakistan University 2015/2016.  In fact, she finished third in the Miss World University 2016 pageant in China.  This is one of the best and appreciable placements achieved by Pakistani beauties in international pageants till date.

Anzhelika Tahir is all set to be the second girl from Pakistan to compete at Miss Grand International. The first was Miss Grand Pakistan 2013, who made it to the Top 20 finalists.  It was the debut year of Miss Grand International, and the winner was Janelee Chaparro of Puerto Rico.

If, Anzhelika wins the title, she can be the first non-Caribbean beauty to win the pageant. Strangely, all the three winners of Miss Grand International have been from the Caribbean islands.

Anzhelika’s achievement is special because she is from a country where beauty pageants are not really popular. Would you like to see her in major pageants like Miss World and Miss Universe too? Share your views with us.
