Vaibhav Wamane recently won the Starlife Mr. Maharashtra 2021 pageant with a dislocated shoulder. Know more about this promising newcomer through this exclusive interview with FashionVeda.
FashionVeda:
Heartiest congratulation Vaibhav for your first pageant of Mr. Maharashtra
2021. Tell us about your journey and how do you feel right now? Winning this
pageant and starting your career in the modeling world?
Vaibhav:
Thank you so much for your kind words. I planned this journey to be a bit
different, but it turned out to be an adventure for me. From August 1 to August
5, 2021, all the participants were made to stay in Agra for the final
competition. On August 2, 2021, we had a photoshoot. It all went shooting but
somehow while I was swimming I dislocated my shoulder. I was taken to the
hospital and took complete rest for a day. At that particular moment, I felt so
down that I have no words to explain it. On August 4, I gather all my courage
and decided to give my best. During the finale that was on August 5. I decided
to take off my bandage and go give my best on the stage.
I gave no thought to winning or losing, I only focused on being the best version of myself.
When my name was announced I could
not believe it. I was so carried away with the excitement and happiness that I
forgot for a moment what has to be done next.
FashionVeda:
Vaibhav brief our readers about who is Vaibhav?
Vaibhav:
I am a mechanical engineer on the academic part. I am from Pune and belong to a simple family.
Just like any other guy during my start teen years I was a skinny guy with low
confidence and trouble with the right career path.
After high school, I got involved in gyming and physical training. It took me more than a couple of years to get into proper shape and confident about myself. Meanwhile, I fought depression and low self-esteem.
If I look back then I can proudly
say, I came a long way. I am proud of myself that I made everyone around me
proud.
FashionVeda:
We understand that such journeys are not easy and are incomplete with a strong
support system. Would you like to name some special people who made your
journey a memorable one?
Vaibhav:
With no second thoughts My Family.
They have been a great support system. Then coming to all my friends, Yashodhan Joshi, Hrushikesh Mahurkar, Unni
Kuttan, Robie Wood, and Kunal Thokale. These are my pillars and I always
feel blessed to get them in my life.
Then coming to the professional
world I would like to thank the entire team of Starlife production. Constant guidance from all the experienced
people is one of my keys to success.
FashionVeda:
Do you always wanted to be a model?
Vaibhav:
Trust me when I say this, I was all blank in regarding my career path until
my early teen years. Then gradually I shifted my focus to self-development and
physical fitness. It is after then I started to get compliments for my looks
and advice to join the modeling industry. In addition to this, I am a gold medalist in martial arts.
After
this pageant, I can confidently say I am now looking for my name in the
modeling industry.
FashionVeda:
So Vaibhav what are your future plans now?
Vaibhav:
Well I am open to all opportunities which are coming or going to come my
way. I will make sure I get through this and earn my name in the entertainment
industry.
FashionVeda:
Let us now talk about your fashion preferences. Vaibhav to be more specific
tell our audience what will you like to wear for a get-together party with your
friends and an evening date?
Vaibhav:
Fashion for me is being myself. Something in which we are comfortable. Thus, to
answer your question:
For a get-together with friends, I would like to wear something casual like a simple t-shirt denim jacket, and jeans. For foot, I will go for white sneakers.
Whereas, for an evening date I would
prefer a semi-formal outfit.
FashionVeda:
As you stated before you started working on your fitness after high school.
What is that one key you think kept you motivated about the same? Some people
lose hope very early when working on fitness.
Vaibhav:
Your question has my answer. HOPE
and Patience are my keys to a better
physical appearance. As I said earlier I was a very skinny guy with low
self-esteem and low confidence. When I started my gyming journey I had no clue
about how to perform exercises and stay fit. I would like to mention that it is
not just about the gym but also your mindset and diet plans. Whatever you eat
will show on your body but that doesn’t mean you stop eating. You only have to
learn how to rip off that extra weight. After a couple of years, I started to
notice positive changes in myself.
So patience and trust in oneself are
a must for anyone.
FashionVeda:
Well Vaibhav what do you think the judges were looking for in a candidate to
give away the title?
Vaibhav:
What I think is there was not just one thing. We were under constant
observation during all 5 days. Starting from our arrival to the finale we were
bring judged and groomed altogether. From dressing to punctuality, from
improving to networking everything we did add points to our final judgment. So,
I guess we should focus on the overall development and networking part when in
a pageant. This was my first pageant so I tried my best to observe everything
happening around me.
FashionVeda:
So now we have a situational question for you. Listen, imagine, and then
answer. Suppose you have a commercial shoot and a blind date on the same day.
Due to some technical issues, your shoot is taking longer to wrap up. Due to
this, you are getting late for your other commitment. How will you handle both
ends?
Vaibhav:
Thank you for such a scenario. I am glad nothing like this has happened to
me until now. If I imagine myself in such a scenario then the foremost thing I
will do is ask about the tentative time by which I can expect a wrap-up. If it
is taking longer then I will ask my date for an apology and promise her to make
it up for this inconvenience later. I like keeping my priorities straight. In
this scenario, my priority is my work so I will stick by my work and complete
my commitment.
FashionVeda:
Bring this to our end of the interview. On parting notes, share one phrase or
word you want people to associate with your name?
Vaibhav:
A phrase in which I believe is: Have
trust in yourself, even if you feel low remember you have dreams to fulfill.
