Reflecting on her journey, Khan emphasized the preparations she underwent for the pageant. She diligently readied herself for photo shoots and anticipated the questions she would face on stage. Among the contestants from various categories, Khan proudly represented the transgender community. The accomplishment brought her immense happiness and a sense of fulfilment.

Miss Trans Pakistan, organized by Sonia Ahmed, held its inaugural event in 2021 when Shryaa Roy was crowned. As the first pageant dedicated to trans women in Pakistan, it offers a remarkable opportunity for Pakistani transgender individuals to represent their country in international pageants.

The event follows a similar format to international pageants, beginning with online applications and professional photo shoots. Following these steps, the candidates participate in interviews to determine their selection. The grand crowning ceremony takes place in Lahore, where the winners are announced and honoured.

This year's ceremony, held on a memorable Wednesday, also featured the selection of other titles, including Miss Pakistan, Mrs Pakistan, and Miss Pakistan Overseas. Areej Chaudhary, the former Miss Pakistan, had the honour of crowning Alina Khan as Miss Trans Pakistan 2023.

Looking ahead, Khan expressed her ambition to represent Pakistan in international pageants, eagerly awaiting the opportunity to showcase her talent on a global stage. With her fame stemming from her notable role in the award-winning movie "Joyland," Alina Khan stands poised to make a lasting impact and inspire countless others through her journey as Miss Trans Pakistan 2023.
