Lina Baliga/Mumbai Photo/PTI Miss India 2020 runner-up Manya Singh’s proud father Omprakash Singh talks about her arduous journey to success. In a quiet bylane at Janupada slum at Thakur Village in Kandivali, there are banners raised in Manya Singh’s honour. Singh was crowned VLCC Femina Miss India 2020 Runner-Up last week and ever since they put up banners emblazoned, “Manya Singh: Janupada ki laadli” (Janupada’s favourite). This little known slum in Kandivali was also the birthplace of Singh in 2000. For Singh’s parents all the idolatry and people basking in their reflected glory is not a novelty anymore.
