| Parmeet Wahi, 2016 Mr. Universal Ambassador India and 2017 Dada Sahib Phalke National Awardee |
Inspired by Sushmita Sen and believes
that the best thing to change yourself is your attitude and be positive
in order to succeed, let us meet and be inspired by this 6'3" tall Indian model who loves to steal the
runway while contributing to the society and
has the passion to help the
less fortunate . Here is the chat that I have with New Delhi based Parmeet Singh Wahi, a multi-awarded professional
Indian Model that tucked 2016 Mr. Rubaru
Mister Universal Ambassador India and Mr. International India 2014 titles in his belt. He is a
professional model, actor, nutritionist, and fashion consultant. Let’s look why
he is such an inspiration to everyone, most specifically to Indian youth and in
the world.
· Namaste and thanks Parmeet, you won several
titles and you are a successful model
who has walked for all major Indian designers and you been to different parts
of the world, but you always mentioned your mother is your inspiration, why? A mother is a person who cares (s) for you and loves you. She tells
you how to fight the difficulties of life, she always nurtures and inspires me
as a role model, So I believe my mom her teaching taught me how to be a better
human being which makes my mom a true inspiration of my life.
·
Did Mr. India just happen to you along the way
– or were you preparing to take part in the pageant from much before. The credit goes to my
mentor (Parvinder Singh) as he knew that I want to do something for my country.
He suggested me to participate in pageants, so that’s how my journey was
started to be a pageant boy.
·
What is your success mantra and how you live with
it? And where your career has taken you? My success mantra
is to be positive, forget about luck, accept failures and yoga. Well, it is all
in the hand of good but after a few years (s) I will become a successful person
so that I can take myself to those people who need my help and support.
·
You have several titles in your belt, is it
more of responsibility or prestige?
Every title gives you
responsibility which shows how confident you are towards your duties which
makes more prestigious towards your title. I believe being a representative
with titles shows the trueness behavior individuality as a true human being.
·
What and how it inspires you to join male
pageants, and what you can say that other men perceived it as very “unmanly”
thing? As I belong to (an) army family and when I was in
1st standard, my grandfather used to tell that our life is for
others, so at that time I committed myself to do something for my country but
after graduation, I started giving exams, but I failed but after watching an
interview of Sushmita Sen, I started to participate in pageants. Well, we
people are civilized and the people who perceived male pageants as unmanly is a
normal thing because that is the way of living with an expressive thought. It
is our duty to awaken our mind and feel the relation of brotherhood.
·
Did you always want to be in the modeling
profession? When was the first time you realized you wanted to take it up as a
career? Yes, this is my profession and I love that because
I believe is good for me but career-wise I want to be an actor.
·
Tell our readers and Mr. India 2014 aspirants
about what it takes to be a Mr. India. What are the challenges involved? How
was the experience? Any significant incident you can tell us about that taught
you something important? Participants should be humble with positive
attributes and he should be a good speaker so that he should convert his
message to the masses being. The first
challenge I faced is how can I give a good message to the society and how we going
to achieved it. After winning the competition, I started training on youth mentally
and how to be to be physically fit, so I participated in Khalsa Aid Organization.
· As
an Indian, how easy or difficult is it for a model to get international
exposure? Are pageants like this an important platform to breakthrough? How
has winning the Mr. India pageant affected your modeling career? As a model and working for international brands, I believe
that a model should have some X factor. People used to say that height and face
matters. Yes, these things matter but apart from this model has the right
attitude, confident, potential and punctuality. First, Judges see your
confidence, he must be a good speaker, physically fit because there is always a
physical round, career-oriented and the experienced which I received (and) it
was amazing because you have been chosen among thousands of people. I sued to
stammer a lot, and this was my weakness and I have seen a load of failures in
life but one thing my grandfather and mom taught me that world needs those
people who work smartly and focus. Be
positive and help others who are needy.
·
As
a model, you need to be at your physical best. How do you maintain yourself?
Tell us something about your diet and exercise regimen and tell us what
aspiring male models should never do. Yes, you need to
be physically fit, for mental peace, I do yoga thrice a week in the morning and
the rest of the days. I do high-intensity workout in the gym and I just want to say
to our youth never shortcut especially do not take steroids and have the
patience, eat healthily and live a healthy lifestyle.
·
Winning
a title also brings the responsibility of being an ambassador of the country
and representing the nation. How does this helped you grow? It effected e to grow
in good ways because first you are the brand ambassador of the country and the
role model for those people who take wrong path. So, I think being a
representative you can give a right message to the society and today our
society needs that to vanish the problem which we people are facing. Love
everyone without any caste creed, color or sex.
·
What
purpose you have added to your title and tell us something about the charity
projects you are involved in. I adopted two children so
the title which I want to give myself, unmarried single father and my purpose
is to live for other.
·
What
are your proudest achievements? When I received the Dada Said National Award in 2017 was (the) proudest moment for me.
·
What
do you do for fun? Spending time with society children
and meet new people to explore more ideas.
· Few words for the fans and people who look up
to you as a source of inspiration. Be with people who
inspire you to become better and remember focus with right attitude is the key
to success. Be an inspiration for other and I want to be a billionaire to serve
for those people who are needy.
Thank you so much for time and
for allowing me to have a chat with you Prameet and continue to be a blessing and
inspiring others especially young people to be like you, discipline,
hardworking and an achiever. As you say in India, namaskar and special dhanyavaad
to you.
