21-year-old Harnaz Sandhu becomes the 2021 Miss Universe in the 70th Miss Universe Pagent, held in Eilat Israel. This is India’s first win after Lara Dutta in 2000.
Harnaaz is 21-year; she belongs to Punjab. She was presented the crown by former Miss Universe 2020, Andrae Meza from Mexico. The first runner-up is Paraguay and the second is South Africa.
The contestants were given the question “What advice would you give to young women watching on how to deal with the pressures they face today”?
To this, Harnaaz answered “The biggest pressure the youth of today is facing, is to believe in themselves. To know that you are unique makes you beautiful. Stop comparing yourselves with others and let’s talk about more important things that are happening worldwide. Come out, speak for yourself, because you are the leader of your life. You are the voice of your own. I believed in myself and that is why I am standing here today.”
This answer took her to the last round of the pageant where there were three contestants in total.
Harnaaz wining answer about climate change was “My heart breaks to see how nature is going through a lot of problems, and it is all due to our irresponsible behaviour. I totally feel that this is the time to take action and talk less. Because each action could save or kill nature. Prevent and protect is better than repent and repair and this is what I am trying to convince you guys today.”
The 21-year old actress and model started her career with Times Fresh Face in 2021. She has starred in Punjabi Films as well.
