GUWAHATI: A Delhi-based, 19-year-old teen model, Pranav Bakhshi has become the first Indian male model with autism to walk the ramp. 

Bakshi has 40 percent disability, and in addition to his autism, he also suffers from echolalia- a condition where one repeats everything others say.  

According to talent scouts, he has the perfect jawline, brooding eyes and great height. 

The teenager has become a trendsetter in the fashion world and has mentioned his disorder as his “Superpower” in his Instagram bio.

Currently, he is signed with a leading modelling agency in the country and hopes to work with many international agencies in the future.
