Bhubaneswar: Bodybuilder from Odisha Janmejaya Mohanty is aiming to bag Mr. Asia title at the Asian Bodybuilding & Fitness Championships scheduled from December 17-19 in Bangkok.

Janmejaya will represent India at men's 80-85 kg category in the competition.

The 35-year-old bodybuilder looks quite excited to participate at his first Asian Championships.

"I had been deprived of taking part in Asian events for many reasons in the past. After representing West Bengal, I got opportunity to participate at Asian Bodybuilding & Fitness Championships for the first time. I am well prepared for the event and hope to get a position at the tournament," Janmejaya said.

Janmejaya, who hails from Jajpur district, has won Mr. India title for twice, Eastern India thrice and Dakashree title for fourth time during his career.
