Q7. What do you think are qualities that are required to be Mr India?
Answer: I think being a Mr India is not just about good looks. It is more than that.He should be a gentleman in all senses. He should respect others and be a man of fine manners and etiquettes. He should be physically fit and confident.A healthy mind resides in a healthy body. Confidence plays the key role which develops from constant hard work and determination. Confidence is what boosts your performance and it allows us to express our “true self” wholly.
- Your biggest support in life.
Answer:My parents and my elder brother, Amit Kharera. - Any message for your well-wishers and supporters who are reading this interview.
Answer: In your daily schedule give atleast 1 hour to physical fitness. Include health in your priority list and don’t just ignore it because if you are not physically fit you cannot be mentally fit, as both are interdependent. Secondly, always set one goal and be persistence towards it. Don’t get distracted from it.Forget everything else. Worship that goal and work hard for it. Don’t be dependent on others and always believe in yourself. You, yourself are your biggest strength.Finally always share and discuss your doubts and problems with your parents because parents are the best guru and guide in your life. God bless you all. Thank you so much.
