"Of course, when I won, I was happy like others.

But deep inside my heart I was not really happy.

Every time I won I asked about Manipur, my homeland where my parents grew up and spent their last days, where I grew up, suffered and learnt the meaning of suffering in life.

If they can embrace me as their own son and smile even for few seconds when they hear this happy news I will consider myself as one of the luckiest sons in the whole world," Dr Shantikumar had told this paper just after winning the Mr World title.

The Mr World dedicated the title to his fellow Manipuri, Kangleipak (Manipur) and parents, who are no more to witness this happy moment of their son.
