A 26-year-old man has become the first Indian to win the title of Mr World at the grand finale of the 2016 competition, defeating 46 other contestants from across the globe.

Rohit Khandelwal won the celebrated title this week, along with a cash prize of €45,000.

“I still can’t believe that I have won the Mr World title. Being the first Indian ever to win this title internationally makes me immensely proud and ecstatic. It’s a dream come true."

As you can imagine, Rohit is a total BABE, however good looks are just the tip of the ice-berg for this young man.
