Mangalore, India – The city has a new name to celebrate in the world of fashion and pageantry — Rushab Rao, who was recently crowned "Prince of JMI" at the prestigious Indian Finals held in Goa. With charisma, talent, and discipline, Rushab is now all set to represent India on the international stage this August in Vietnam.

Under the expert mentorship of City Director Yashasvini Devadiga, Rushab has emerged as a force to be reckoned with. Hailing from Kulshekar, he is the proud son of Rakshith Rao and Ashwini, and his journey is a true testament to hard work, family support, and artistic brilliance.

His victory was nothing short of spectacular — from a show-stopping dance performance choreographed by Naveen Shetty of Aryans Dance Studio, to his confident runway walk that left judges in awe. The stunning costumes designed by Varsha Acharya added a perfect touch of elegance and flair to his stage presence.

Rushab clinched not one, but three coveted titles at the event:

  • Prince of Karnataka
  • Super Talent
  • Best in Suit


With his eyes now set on the international pageant in Vietnam, Rushab carries the hopes of Mangalore and the nation. His journey is a shining example of what passion, discipline, and the right guidance can achieve.
