Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu from India Becomes Miss Universe 2021 Winner, Here's the Moment of Her Coronation

India's wait to bring home the Miss Universe crown finally paid off. Today, Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu was chosen as Miss Universe 2021.

Born on March 3, 2000, she became India's representative after winning the Miss Diva competition. Previously, she had often participated in and won beauty contests in her country.

Nadia Ferreira, the representative from Paraguay, was a strong candidate alongside Harnaaz. The two of them advanced to the final round of Miss Universe 2021.

After going through a tense period, Steve Harvey, who returned as the host, announced the winner of Miss Universe 2021. Harnaaz couldn't contain her happiness.

During the judging, Harnaaz revealed her biggest motivation in life, which is her mother. Harnaaz's mother is a successful gynecologist who has been able to break the strong patriarchal system in India.

Harnaaz herself is a graduate of a women's special school. She is currently pursuing a master's degree in Public Administration.

When she was a teenager, Harnaaz was once bullied by her friends because of her extremely thin body.

With a height of 175cm, Harnaaz entered the world of modeling and acting. She participated in various contests in India before finally becoming Miss Universe 2021.

In the final question and answer session, Harnaaz delivered a message to all women. "I want to say this to all women, you must stand on your own, because you are the leader of your own life," she said.

Harnaaz remembers the message from her mother to always work hard. If you want to achieve the desired position, hard work is the key and her mother sets an example for her.

No matter the gender, even women should be able to fulfill their dreams. That is the message from Harnaaz's mother that she conveyed on the Miss Universe stage.

In her final answer to the judges, Harnaaz revealed that one of her life principles is to stop comparing herself to others.

Harnaaz also revealed that she always speaks openly about herself in front of others. That's why she can be on the Miss Universe 2021 stage.

Her victory brings joy to India after the last crown was brought by Lara Dutta in 2000. Congratulations Harnaaz!
