The beauties of the world once again graced Hyderabad, this time for a cause that often goes unnoticed. The Sudha Reddy Foundation, in association with MEIL Foundation, unveiled the second edition of the Pink Power Run at Trident Hotel, Hyderabad. The event was attended by Miss World 2025 Opal Suchata Chungsri, Sudha Reddy and Miss World Asia 2025 Krishnah Marie Gravidez. They focused on raising awareness about breast cancer. The Pink Power Run will be held on September 28 with the tagline ‘Stride and Shine’.
CE caught up with Miss World Asia 2025 Krishnah Marie Gravidez, who shared her thoughts on breast cancer awareness and also spoke about her recently released music album. Reflecting on her return to Hyderabad, she said, “I feel wonderful to be back here. Hyderabad always gives me a very warm welcome, and to return for such a meaningful cause is truly an honour. I am very excited to do more here.”
Speaking about her participation in the Pink Power Run, she added, “Yes, I will definitely be taking part in the run and I hope to do more than 3 km. I’ll try my best to prepare for the marathon next month.” On life after being crowned Miss World Asia, Krishnah shared, “It has changed my life in many ways. When I returned to the Philippines, people were not only proud of the achievement but also looked up to the causes I represent. Beyond the crown, it’s about raising awareness for child and animal welfare, and now also for breast cancer. I am glad that people recognise these meaningful causes.”
She also spoke about the personal transformation that she experienced, “After being crowned, one big change I’ve noticed in myself is how differently I see the world. Working with the Miss World organisation, which is focused on positive change, has taught me to understand grassroots problems and deepened my empathy for communities. That has been life-changing.”
Apart from her advocacy, Krishnah is also showcasing her artistic side; she recently released a single. “I released my song ‘Rainbow’ on the night of the Miss World competition. It’s a re-imagined version of Filipino music, and I’m currently working on more music that I hope to release this year,” she noted. When asked if Hyderabad could expect an album launch, she smiled and said, “Hopefully, yes. Maybe I can collaborate with Sudha Reddy and even promote Hyderabad through my music.”
Leaving a message for the audience, she emphasised the importance of awareness: “One simple message I’d like to share is to become more aware about breast cancer. Education and awareness are key factors in combating it.
I myself am still learning, but as individuals, the least we can do is research, educate ourselves, and spread the word.”
