Speaking on the occasion, winner of Rubaru Mr India 2021 Songashim Rungsung said it is the first time that the audition is happening in Manipur.

Only six contestants participated in the audition while many quitted due to lack of confidence, he said, adding all the six contestants are well deserving and it is hard for the judges to select only one among them.
