Manya Singh, the auto rickshaw driver's daughter who became Miss India Runner up is now an internet sensation. She returned home to a family that burst into tears of joy. The story of Manya Singh is truly inspirational - how this young woman put behind financial struggles to become one of the winners of the Miss India contest. In Instagram posts, she is seen cleaning the tears of her thrilled dad. She even bowed down and touched the feet of her mom as she ventured outside the auto-rickshaw.
She is seen taking a ride in her dad's autorickshaw after her felicitation. She even showed off the sash and crown of Miss India second place 2020.
Manya Singh after winning the title, shared her inspiring story on her Instagram account. "At 14, I boarded the train from my village & left for Mumbai to pursue my dreams, all by myself. I didn’t know where it would lead me, but I knew I was meant to achieve great things. When I walked out of the station, Pizza Hut was the first place I saw–I somehow got myself a part-time job there & temporary accommodation. 2 days later, when I called Papa, he started crying.
She went on, "But I reassured him, ‘This is where I belong.’ So the next day, both my parents came to Mumbai Papa said, ‘We’ll support you’; he drove an auto to make a living. Still, they put me in a good school. Alongside, I also worked part-time–I earned Rs.15,000 a month. I was 15 when I watched the Miss India Pageant for the first time–I thought, ‘I’m going to win that crown someday and make Papa proud."
Manya Singh's mother Manorama spoke to PTI and said, "I am fortunate to have a daughter like Manya. She struggled hard, day and night, to achieve her dream. We stood by her and gave it our all. Back then, it did look out of reach. But she did it.
"I hope all parents encourage their daughters to touch the sky. Please support your daughters, so that they continue to dream," Manorama added.
