JAKARTA – Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu, on Monday, December 13, 2021, was selected as Miss Universe 2021. This woman born in 2000 in Chandigarh, India was named the most beautiful person in the world ahead of Nadia Ferreira from Paraguay and Lalela Mswane from South Africa.
Launching from the India Times, Tuesday, December 14, the Miss Universe crown was worn again by Indian women, after 2000 by Lara Dutta and 1994 by Sushmita Sen. Not only completely beautiful, Harnaaz Sandhu also has another side that inspires. Take a peek at the following along with beautiful portraits below.
The first words that came out after being announced as Miss Universe 2021, Harnaaz Sandhu excitedly said “Chak de phatte, India..chak de phatte” which means 'continue, India..continue'.
In the final round, Sandhu answered what advice he would give young women about how to deal with the pressures they are currently facing. She replied “The biggest pressure young people face today is to believe in themselves, to know that you are unique and that is what makes you beautiful. Stop comparing yourself to others and let's talk about more important things happening around the world. This is what you need to understand. Come out and talk…”
Apart from completing his master's degree in public administration, Sandhu is also a model and starred in two Punjabi films.
Sandhu also fills his spare time by doing a number of activities such as yoga, dancing, cooking, horseback riding, playing chess, and swimming.
Advocating for a number of important issues related to women is also Sandhu's concern. His appearance in public is often a space for him to voice issues of education, career, and freedom of choice. Sandhu said that she was inspired by Priyanka Chopra, Miss World 2000.
Sandhu's mother is a gynecologist. From his mother, Sandhu gained a lot of knowledge about women's reproductive health. Her mother also became an inspiration in her steps to advocate for the issues experienced by women.
In his social media upload, Instagram which has been verified with the account name @harnaazsandhu_03, Sandhu said that the Miss Universe 2021 grace was not a personal journey. But this grace would not have been possible without the support of the designer and his team. She wrote, “This is not my trip, but ours…”.
As an Indian woman, Sandhu admits that she is close to the culture and traditions in society. He also enjoys his hometown, Punjab.
His closeness to culture and tradition is represented through the clothes he wears. In her upload, she wears her country's signature jewellery, Lehenga designed by Abhinav Mishra.
Lehenga, according to Mishra, is a traditional Indian jewelery set that includes chokers, rings, haars, bracelets, necklaces and matha patti strands.
