However, just over a month after the coronation, Harnaaz Sandhu stunned fans with the change. The choice of clothes and weight gain made Harnaaz Sandhu lose her inherent charm and shine. Harnaaz Sandhu’s fashion style has continuously become the focus of discussion on social networks and among fans.

Recently, the reigning Miss Universe 2021 (Miss Universe) Harnaaz Sandhu had an interview with People to share about issues related to cyberbullying. In it, she asserted that she was also a victim of this problem.

After 3 months, she became a victim of bodyshaming

Specifically, the Indian beauty said she has gained a lot of weight since being crowned in December 2021. This has led the public to constantly criticize her and consider her irresponsible.



“Physically, I have gained weight and I am still completely comfortable about it. But I have been killed because of this”, Miss Universe 2021 shared, “It is uncomfortable and It was quite surprising to me when people started talking about your opinion.It’s not all about how you look, what’s important is who you are on the inside and how you treat people and the world. what you believe in”.

After being criticized many times, she also responded

In fact, it is normal for the public not to accept the image of a beauty crowned as Miss Universe of the biggest beauty contest on the planet, which is getting worse and worse. Because beauty queens must be beautiful with their volunteer activities. In the end, to be a beauty queen must be beautiful both in person and in character. However, the case of Miss Universe 2021 Harnaaz Sandhu is different. Immediately after the coronation, she continuously gained weight to the point that the Indian media also had to say: “What is happening to our Miss?”.

Also because of weight gain, the appearance of Miss Universe 2021 also became sloppy. After only 3 months of coronation, the audience did not recognize the owner of the most expensive Mouawad crown on the planet anymore.

Before too many criticisms about the decline, Miss Universe World 2021 affirmed that beauty only accounts for 1% of beauty contests.

Harnaaz Sandhu also said that her previous weight loss was purely because she focused on winning the Miss Universe contest.

“I was really just focusing on my goals at the time and didn’t think about health issues,” the beauty admitted, “And right after I won, I had about a month to rest. That’s when I don’t exercise, just eat and enjoy time with my family. I didn’t realize my body was starting to show signs of gaining weight.”

Immediately after appearing with the appearance of gaining a lot of weight compared to when she was crowned, Harnaaz Sandhu admitted that some critical comments of the online community made her unable to hold back her tears. “I broke down so many times, sometimes at unexpected times. Sometimes I’m about to go on stage and these negative comments pop up in my head. It’s really sad,” said Miss Sandhu.

Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray and a group stood up to defend and affirm that the beauty queen should not be limited by her physique, the main job is to speak, not just build an image. However, the other group thinks that Harnaaz Sandhu’s body and cheesy fashion sense is a manifestation of his will to try too hard. Miss has wisdom but still has to be accompanied by beauty.

Miss Universe 2021 herself also confessed that her weight gain is due to sweets and love to cook, but she is still confident and loves herself. Recently, when returning to India to prepare for the new Miss’s grand Homecoming ceremony, the Indian media asked difficult questions about this issue, causing her to respond harshly.

When the Indian media questioned what Miss Universe needed, Harnaaz Sandhu replied: “It is not enough to be beautiful. Beauty only accounts for 1% of beauty contests. You must have confidence, voice, ideology and personality. Are you brave enough to make a difference in society? I do. That’s why I’m here.”

With this answer, Miss Universe 2021 once again affirmed that constantly receiving criticism about her appearance does not affect her and that she is brave enough to change her prejudices about herself.

The beauty from India said that a woman’s biggest pressure is herself. So believe that you are unique, stop comparing with others. Instead, we need to pay more attention to the important things that are happening around us.

“I think this is something all of us women must understand. You are the leader of your life. I always believe in myself and that’s why I participate in beauty contests,” Miss Harnaaz said. Sandhu said.

The reigning Miss Universe also responded to the views that she did not deserve the title: “For me, beauty is when you feel beautiful yourself. Mind is born, when your mind is good, Your face will be radiant and attractive.



A bright smile, confident eyes will help me overcome difficult situations, which is also the criterion of energetic beauty. The beauty of a woman is in your personality, in the aura that comes from your heart and feelings.”
