Recently he starred in the Music video for Miss Pooja, an international artist and well known within the Bollywood and Punjabi industry. He has also appeared on Australia based Indian TV shows and recently finished work on Flavours of India – a cooking competition show for Sabrang TV channel.

Amit believes his success is due to his strong work ethic, and says that he is always ready to take on new challenges in life as long as it’s not harming anyone.

A quality of Amit is being very loyal to all who been central to his journey, most important his family and it’s clear he loves them dearly. He feels blessed that god has given him amazing parents back in India, and now in Australia has the support of his Finance business director Mr Bhupendra Sethia, Maxine Salma and his friends . They are all key sources of inspiration to him. His parents have always taught him to respect others and to keep working hard, whereas Mr Sethia & Ms Maxine has taught him to give back and do things for others.

Amit supports many national and international charity organisations, but does not believe in discussing this. He is motivated by making a difference and bringing a positive change in others life. Amit hopes he can inspire others with his journey, and show to people that we can all out follow our passion and live our dreams as long as we work hard and do everything with the best of intentions.

So, two countries’ representation was a honour .

What all preparation you went through during the process ? 

As its was a beauty Pageant, I had to focus on my body, my face , my clothes and of course my confidence on stage .

I have been so far on free healthy diet , gym and was going through lot of training for my walk and public speaking .

How was reaction when your name as the winner was announced?

I was shocked because I never imagined that I will come out as winner as being Indian among all white contestants, it’s a tough job and I had tears in my eye and also a proud feeling in my head.
