Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu, who won the Miss Universe 2021 title for India, went through a challenging journey that wasn’t just about glamour and crowns.
After her win, she experienced weight gain partly due to celiac disease and other food allergies, which caused her body to change unexpectedly, and this led to harsh online bullying and body-shaming from critics who commented on her appearance. She has openly said the negative comments affected her deeply and even made her break down at times, but she gradually learned to focus on her health, self-love, and confidence rather than on people’s opinions.
More recently, Harnaaz has worked on her fitness with a disciplined diet and exercise routine as she steps into new opportunities like, turning her transformation into a message of resilience and self-acceptance.
