Bhairavi Burad of Nashik, India, has won the title of Miss TGPC 2016.  This is the first edition of this unique pageant, which is first ever web-based international beauty pageant!  In all, 13 beauties participated in this edition of the pageant.

The crowning of Bhairavi Burad was done in a very special way.  Bhairavi was in Pune to audition in an event at Seasons Mall and Miss TGPC 2016 Team tricked her to visit Fashion Fundas office in Pune citing modelling assignment in Nashik as the excuse. She was then told that she has to do an interview as one of the Top 7 but little did she know that a huge surprise was waiting for her though.
