RM: Yes , that is true , i look up to the people who have won it
before like Rishi and Shadel and i certainly want to do what they have
done and also surpass .
TR:Ray you have been doing photo-shoots wearing men's lingerie
underwear.Which company are you advertising for and how did you manage
to be their model?

slightly controversial shoot , it was actually a friend of mine who
gave me a call and asked if would be comfortable with it and i said
yeah definitely, lets do it.
TR:Not all male models are willing to model while wearing
underwear.What tips can you provide to those models who would like to
model in lingerie?

insecurities you need to overcome, deal with them, dont let them stop
you , dont compare yourself to any other model , be unique and own
that look, so yeah , definitely go for it.
TR:You have dominated the name 'Mr Six pack' why is it important for a
model to work out?
RM: It’s probably because week. the number of shirtless shoots I've done
lol. Besides general health, it certainly has aesthetic benefits , you
don’t have to put on much muscles but a well defined body will get
most of the time.
TR:How many times do you work out in a week?
RM: I work out 5 days a week, basically Monday to Friday, i have
friends who aren't in the industry but share the same aesthetic desire
so every week day at 4pm you’ll find us absolutely testing our limits
and just enjoying it, it’s become a life style at this point.
