Punjabis are certainly taking over the globe with their finesse. After Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu got home the crown of Miss Universe 2021, another Punjabi name that has been echoing in every Indian household these days is Karan Kapoor, the Mr. World trophy winner at the 2022 FIF Dennis Worldwide Classic Pro/Am in the overall category. The World Bodybuilding Championship was held in Singapore on April 1st, 2022. 

If you are passionate about achieving a certain set of goals, then no matter how difficult things get, you will always find a way to achieve them despite the chaos. One such determinant and passionate soul that has made India proud is the Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh-based, Karan Kapoor.

The physique athlete, fitness model, and bodybuilder, Karan Kapoor began his journey in the fitness world when he was just 13 years old. Being a fat kid during his childhood days, he knew nothing about sports or fitness physique as such. Unforeseen instances such as childhood bullying and being a fat kid, deeply motivated him to step into the world of fitness. He started working out at the time. He gave it a try and instantly fell in love with fitness. Although he initially used to train at home, he began bodybuilding at the gym after completing his graduation from high school.

Karan hails from a Punjabi family. He is the youngest son and has three brothers and sisters. While he completed his education at Stepping Stones Intermediate College in 2012, he received his Bachelor’s degree from the C.S.J.M. university in 2016.

Although he was one of the most active kids in school and extensively participated in cultural and sports activities, people still used to call him fat too often. Such kind of behaviour deranged him and eventually led him to his present-day passion, fitness.

Over the years, he has participated in numerous national and international competitions and made a name for himself in the global fitness industry, especially among the youngsters. “One of the biggest reasons I do what I do is to become an inspiration for the youth of the nation who have been bullied at some point in their life for their weight. I was a fat kid and I want all the other fat kids to take fitness seriously for a healthier lifestyle” said Karan.

From winning 4th position in the “Mr. UP” pageant in 2017 to becoming Mr. World in 2022, Karan has certainly come a long way. Some of his recent achievements include, “Mr. Himachal 2021 NPC – 1st Overall”, “Mr. India 2022 – 1st ”, “Mr. North India 2022 – 2nd”, and “Mr. Punjab 2022 – 2nd”.

“My fitness mantra is to make fitness a lifestyle. Staying fit should always be the only option rather than a choice. Prioritizing your fitness schedule over a busy lifestyle will pay a lot higher rewards in terms of health and happiness”, Karan adds.

Karan Kapoor’s main goal is to wholeheartedly represent his country on the national and international stages. He wants to continue to motivate people on his journey to the epitome of fitness. For Mr. World, it seems this is just the beginning.
