His this noble decision was appreciated by the modelling agency – Rubaru Group that manages him, and they have mentioned that Dr. Gaurav Sharma could return to them whenever he wants. The doors of Rubaru Mr. India organization would always remain open for him.
In a statement after his victory, he mentioned, “It was a great experience winning the prestigious title of Mr. North India at India’s biggest and most celebrated beauty pageant – Rubaru Mr. India, however, now is not the time for me to celebrate my victory when my nation is going through a very difficult phase. My career as a model can wait but currently my services as a doctor are much needed and as an Indian doctor, it is my paramount duty and responsibility to help my nation. My duty to my nation is much more important than any modelling assignment.”
