Indian bodybuilder, Thakur Anoop Singh earned the title of ‘Mr World’ by winning a gold medal in a world bodybuilding meet in Bangkok, Thailand. The athlete was competing against athletes from 47 countries and won a gold medal in the “fitness physique” category of the seventh WBPF (World Bodybuilding and Physique Championships). Back in 2008 when the world was hit by recession, Anoop was forced to leave his job as a pilot and that is when he turned to small screen. In the Mahabharata series that began in 2011, Anoop plays the role of Drithrashtra.

Finishing third at the Mr. Asia earlier this year, he was the crowd favourite at the Bangkok event. Even before he had left for the event, Anoop had said that he was bringing nothing else than a gold for the country.
