Four Contestants Crowned Mr and Miss Northern 2026; Winners Honoured at Mandi Ceremony.
Shimla:
The winners of Mr and Miss Northern 2026 were felicitated at a grand ceremony held on Sunday at Himachali Haveli in 7 Mile, Mandi. Organised by Feet of Fire, the event celebrated the achievements of the winners who emerged victorious after a highly competitive national-level pageant.
Speaking on the occasion, organiser Amit Bhatia said that the grand finale of Mr and Miss Northern 2026 was held on June 8 in Panchkula, following auditions that attracted nearly 1,200 participants from across India. He said the competition witnessed an exceptionally high standard of talent, making it difficult for the judges to select a single winner in each category.
As a result, the organisers decided to crown two winners each in both the male and female categories. Anubhav Sharma from Sirmaur and Sujal Rathore from Shimla were declared Mr Northern 2026, while Ezza Singh Jamwal from Kangra and Awesome Sharma from Shimla were crowned Miss Northern 2026.
Bhatia announced that each winner would receive a cash prize of Rs. 51,000, a trophy, an all-expenses-paid trip to Thailand, and opportunities to feature in music videos, providing them with valuable exposure in the entertainment industry.
Expressing their happiness, the winners said the title represented much more than a victory in a competition. They described it as the fulfilment of long-cherished dreams and thanked the organisers for providing a transparent platform that helped them enhance their confidence, personality, and professional skills. They added that the grooming sessions and overall experience had been a valuable learning journey.
The felicitation ceremony was attended by prominent guests, including Raja Singh Malhotra, a social worker, prominent businessman and sports lover, who is playing a crucial role to nurture young talent, Raku Walia, Anushka Dutta, Jagdish, and the parents of the contestants. Amit Bhatia thanked all sponsors, supporters, mentors, and members of the organising team for their contribution in making the event a success.
With growing participation from across the country and increasing opportunities for aspiring models, Mr and Miss Northern continues to establish itself as a leading platform for discovering and promoting young talent in the fashion and entertainment industry.
