Harnaaz Sandhu won the Miss Universe 2021, becoming the third Indian woman to win the prestigious title and bringing the crown back to the country after 21 years. India has won the crown twice with Sushmita Sen in 1994 and Lara Dutta in 2000.
Sandhu defeated 79 other contestants from various countries and territories, including runner-up Miss Paraguay Nadia Ferreira and second runner-up Miss South Africa Lalela Mswane. She entered the top 3 finalists at the 70th edition of Miss Universe which was held in Eilat, Israel.
On the final question regarding what advice she would give to young women on how to deal with the pressure they face today, Sandhu answered, “Stop comparing yourselves with others and let's talk about more important things that's happening worldwide. This is what you need to understand. Come out, speak for yourselves because you are the leader of your life, you are the voice of your own. I believed in myself and that's why I am standing here today.”
Harnaaz was born into a Sikh household from Chandigarh and is a yoga and fitness enthusiast and is currently pursuing her Master's degree in Public Administration. She was crowned Miss Chandigarh in 2017 and Miss Max Emerging Star India in 2018.
She won the Femina Miss India Punjab 2019, and was in the top 12 contestants at Femina Miss India 2019. Harnaaz also received the title of Miss Diva Universe India 2021.
