"I want to thank my family, all of you, and [Miss Iran] for giving me this title. I am now an ambassador of Iran. I will always represent you and I’ll be your voice upon the world, in every journey and endeavor," she wrote in a statement on social media.
Mahrou was born in Tehran and is a herbal medicine and medicine graduate. She is currently pursuing pharmacy at the University of Istanbul. Besides being a doctor, she is also a model, stylist, and fashion influencer with huge social media followers.
"I believe that if there is a goal or a desire that we want to have in our life, by working hard for it, we will achieve it. Since childhood, I have always dreamed of being able to win the title of Miss Iran, so then I can convey my voice to all the girls in my country and tell them that we can be the most successful and powerful women in the world by helping each other to get the freedom we want in Iran," she said in her introduction for the Miss Iran pageant.
Miss Earth 2022 will be held from October 24 until November 27 in the Philippines. This year's edition is themed “ME Loves Fauna" to emphasize the importance of caring for animal life in addition to its core mission which is environmental protection and preservation.
