A resident of Cranbourne in Victoria, Atiksh Mistry is going to grade 1 next year. He is confident and smart and his parents are doing everything they can to nurture his talent.

Ankit Mistry and his wife Avani Mistry arrived in Australia in 2009 as permanent residents. Atiksh journey to stardom started when he was two years old. “When Atiksh was 2 years old, one of the shop owners in India asked us for his photos to display in the shop. The shop owner told us to put Atiksh into modelling,” says Atiksh proud father Ankit Mistry.

It was Avani Mistry's idea to participate in a modelling competition. Ankit Mistry says, “One day, my wife came across the MMG 2017 Mr and Mrs. Glamorous show. They included the kids for the first time this year. For this show we had to drive at least around 100 kilometres every weekend to take Atiksh for the practice as we live far from the City.”

“Our hard work paid well. We feel proud.”
