Meet India’s first ‘Mr World’

Rohit Khandelwal has reached a new milestone where no Indian had been in past.

Rohit Khandelwal, who? This might be the question you mind must be tickling with and more importantly what exactly he did?

Well, keeping no secrets, Rohit Khandelwal, 26, has become the first Indian, rather the first Asian – to have won the ‘Mr World‘ beauty pageant.

Rohit competed with 46 contestants and was awarded the title at the grand finale held in Southport, UK on July 19.

“I feel so privileged and humbled to be Mr World 2016. I would like to thank all my fans and all the people who have been giving me all their blessings. It is only your love and support that has been my inspiration to win Mr World 2016. It has been an amazing journey to this point, and I cannot wait to see what happens next,” Rohit was quoted as saying on Mr World’s official website.

Later he posted picture on Instagram of himself with Mr World 2014 Nicklas Pedersen after winning the title.
