AS PREDICTED, INDIAN HUNK Rohit Khandelwal is the Mister World 2016 winner.

The 26-year-old Indian model, actor, and television personality won several major awards and bested 45 other contestants from around the world to become the first Asian to win the London-based male pageant. Rohit was one of the Top 10 hunks we picked to win the title in our post earlier today.

With that beautiful face, Rohit Khandelwal represented India at Mister World 2016 and went on to win the title.

“It is Mister India’s star that’s shining the brightest for this year’s competition if you would ask us. We would give him the title right away if we are to based it on these photos alone. Rohit has easily penetrated our membranes in a second, and he seems not leaving us sane,” this blogger wrote in our earlier post. True enough, he did outshine his competitors.

Mister World 2014 Nicklas Pedersen of Denmark passed the title to the gorgeous Indian model-actor-turned-pageant-winner, who also won the Multimedia award.

Last edition’s winner, Nicklas Pedersen of Denmark, gave Mister India a hug, congratulating him on the big win in this year’s edition of Mister World. Misters Puerto Rico and Mexico, who placed as runners-up, share an eye-to-eye moment here. Kidding!

Mister India says a little prayer as he’s announced Mister World 2016 winner by host Megan Young (Miss World 2013) from the Philippines.

The other winners were Puerto Rico’s Fernando Alvarez, who placed second, and Mexico’s Aldo Esparza, in third. Both hunks were also part of our Top 10 picks.

Mister World Puerto Rico 2016 Fernando Alvarez is first runner-up.

England‘s Chris Bramell and Kenya‘s Kevin Owiti also secured spots in the Top 5. Rounding out the Top 10 finalists are representatives from Poland (Rafał Jonkisz), Scotland (Tristan Harper), China (Chang Zhousheng), El Salvador (David Arias), and Brazil (Lucas Montandon).

Beyond his Top 10 finish, Rafał Jonkisz of Poland also won Best in Talent, while Mister China won the Style and Fashion award.

The Philippines’ representative to the pageant, Sam Ajdani, failed to land a spot in the finals but was part of the winning team in the competition’s Extreme Sports Challenge.

See for yourself how deserving Mister India, now Mister World 2016, Rohit Khandelwal, really is. You’re welcome!

Is there any more gorgeous way to take a shower?

When a beautiful face isn’t enough, give the world a perfect body too. Oh, India!

To wear or not to wear a sando — Mister World 2016 Rohit Khandelwal seems to have that figured out. More?
