One of the most watched events of the year, beauty pageants are held all over the world. These pageants attract young women from all over the world who compete for winning scholarships. Since 2002, Pakistan has also revealed its Miss Pakistan each year.
To our surprise, Dr. Kapotaqkhy Chanchala, a practicing physician, was named Miss Universe Pakistan 2023 this year.
Muslim Agha Khan University alum Kapotaqkhy Chanchala has experience working in several hospitals. She currently works at Liaquat National Hospital in Karachi under the name Dr. Kapo.
When asked about her unusual name during the interview, she said, “Wherever I go, I have to give an explanation for it. Kapot means pigeon, Aqkhy means eyes and Chanchala means active or naughty. It was my father’s creativity. He was a journalist by profession, poet by nature, and novelist by chance. He coined it and attached it to me.”
The Miss Pakistan Universe 2023 spoke on the occasion and discussed what drew her to the entertainment industry.
“Since childhood, I fantasized about entertainment ecstasy and kept track of celebrities. Though I peeped through the tunnel of entertainment I remained in oblivion about the way I should move on. It was through my discovery of the forum called Miss Pakistan World I got the way and finally jumped into the arena. Later Dr. Shafaq Akhter, former Miss Pakistan Universal 2022 inspired me the most.”
In addition, she said, “Despite my move into the entertainment industry, my goal has not changed, which is to become a neurosurgeon in the future.”

- Dr. Kapotaqkhy Chanchala won Miss Pakistan Universal 2023
