Miss Universe 2021 Harnaaz Sandhu made headlines after she was crowned Miss Universe 2021, bringing the title back to India after 21 long years. While millions of people and celebrities were proud of her after her big win, several individuals commented that she won only because of her ‘pretty face’.
Responding to critics, Sandhu said the effort that she put in during and before the pageant and also compared her win to an Olympic win.
Harnaaz Sandhu in a recent interview stated that a lot of people say she was crowned Miss Universe 2021 because she has a ‘pretty face’. However, she cleared the air and addressed the claims by saying that she is aware of the ‘amount of effort’ that went behind her journey.
Harnaaz also mentioned that she prefers to stay out of the argument, and rather work hard to make people understand her worth.
The Miss Universe 2021 winner mentioned this was a stereotype she wishes to break and said that her win was “a lot like an Olympic win.” She wondered why beauty pageant winners could not be as appreciated as sportspersons who represent India.
However, she mentioned that mindsets are gradually changing and she was “happy to be breaking stereotypes already”.
