Unbeatable Dehradun?
Bhumika is all praise for her birthplace Uttarakhand, saying the quality of food and natural climate made it easy for her to win the competition. She returned to her hometown within months after a trial attempt at joing a bodybuilding club at Delhi. Ever since she practiced at her family owned gym in Dehradun.

Just a chance encounter?
Inspite of her mother, Hansa Manral once being the chief coach of the Indian women's weightlifting team, her parents didn't see much of a future in her 'bodybuilding' pursuance. Bhumika's life took a turn when she met a gym instructor at Delhi- the man who encouraged her to not give up on body-building. It was with his help and enthusiasm, that her parents allowed her to follow her passion. Her rotuine is packed with weight lifting and running along with a rigorously strict diet.

Bringing the country glory
The best moment for Bhumika in the championship came when the Indian flag was hoisted as she was announced the final winner.
Breaking the streotypes
Shattering stereotypes and bodyshaming notions about women so prevalent in today's culture, the winner said a strong and fit body helps in both build and boost confidence. Girls should be encouraged more to be physically fit, instead of going for flimsy, ill-portraying body types.
