Yashmeen Manak, 36, was recently crowned Miss India 2016 at a competition organised by Indian Body Building and Fitness Federation.
Though Yashmeen has been lifting weights for the last 17 years, she got into bodybuilding just three years ago. She also became Gladrags Mrs India last year.
Her journey has been successful but hard.
She was abandoned by her mother when she was just, who left home to marry a man she loved. Her father also re-married and Yashmeen grew up in a joint family of her paternal grand parents.
She says she had to grow up without any emotional support and in a constant state of emotional distress.
That made her tough.
She started working when she was just 17. She used to teach in a kindergarten in the morning and take aerobics class in the evenings. An obese teenager, Yashmeen was constantly harassed and that made her vow that she will take up weight training to improve her physique.
A self-made woman, Yashmeen runs a successful gym in Gurgaon and coaches more than 300 boys and girls every month.
Yashmeen is also an acclaimed belly dancer.
