In a huge achievement that will make all Indians, especially Gujaratis and Amdavadis, proud, Kramik Yadav, the Mr Rubaru India Universal winner 2022, has been crowned as the second runner-up at the Caballero Universal competition in Venezuela (Latin America), the most successful nation in the International pageant industry.

“I am really happy with the second runner-up finish at the Caballero Universal competition. I could have done one better and even won the title but with participants from several countries, the competition was very tough. There is very little that separates the winner and the runner-ups. My performance has also boosted my confidence and I believe I will do better in future. I also take this opportunity to thank Rubara Mr India and its head Pankaj Kharbanda for all their support and guidance. It was winning the Rubara Mr India title and the preparations after that that I am where I am,” says Kramik.
