Manya Singh
About
From being a rickshaw-driver's daughter to Miss India runner-up, Manya Singh's struggle-to-success story took the internet by storm when she secured the second position at Femina Miss India 2020.
She has also walked the ramps in many renowned fashion shows like Times Fashion Week and Lakme Fashion Week.
At 14, she ran away from home to pursue her dream of becoming a model. Her dedication towards her goal saw her take up a dish-washing job in the evening and working at a call-center in the night.
Along the way, she was shamed for not speaking English fluently, for her roots, for not being good-looking, but she never gave up.
Her perseverance and single-minded focus in the face of difficulties not only touched a chord with people but it showed the world that all is possible if you are committed to yourself and your dreams.
