Harnaaz Sandhu, who was crowned Miss Universe 2021 earlier this month, made the country proud. The award was presented to the Chandigarh-based model-actor 21 years after Lara Dutta won it in 2000. 

During a recent interview, Harnaaz slammed trolls who claimed she won the prestigious pageant solely because she has a 'pretty face.' 

Miss Universe Harnaaz Sandhu stated that she is aware of the amount of effort that has gone into earning this prestigious win and that, rather than arguing with the trolls, she would rather work hard to make them realise her worth. She went on to say that receiving this honour was similar to winning an 'Olympic' medal and questioned why a sportsperson representing the country is recognised but not beauty pageant winners. Harnaaz concluded by saying that mindsets are changing and she is pleased to be breaking stereotypes. 

Speaking exclusively to ETimes about her plans for the coming year, Harnaaz stated, "My advocacy is regarding women empowerment and for this, I have been focusing on my community because I have seen how my mother has dealt with a patriarchal system. I would like to talk about women empowerment all around the world, beginning with menstrual hygiene because it all starts from within. When you have a healthy body and mind that's when you can follow your purpose and passion. We need to take action now, then only can we look forward to the future.”

Oh Lord! lady, you did win due to "prettiness" it's a Beauty pageant for f...s sake! Do not even try to make it about brains. Because then you will win not just the pretty award but also the petty and foolishly woke award.

You really can’t compare a sportsperson to a beauty pageant winner. Both have their own place in the world, but sports requires immense physical effort and mental fortitude. It requires going beyond your body’s limitations.

Pageant winners do work hard but in a much different way. It’s just not comparable and hence, won’t be celebrated the same way.

Umm… Most of them win because of that. I would have taken it as a compliment if I were Harnaaz. 😅
