On being asked what advice she would give to young women on how to deal with pressure they face, a composed Ms Sadhu said; “the biggest pressure the youth of today is facing is to believe in themselves, to know that you are unique and that’s what makes you beautiful. Stop comparing yourselves with others and let’s talk about more important things that’s happening worldwide.”

Born in Kohali village, around 60 kilometers from Batala in Gurdaspur district, Harnaaz Sandhu has come a long way from being a small town girl to becoming the reigning Miss Universe. As she bought home the crown after a gap of 21 years, her friends, family and teachers all joined in to celebrate the achievement. The 21-year-old moved to the tricity in 2008, after spending two years in England.

Her father, Pritampal Singh Sandhu, 56, a realtor, says the family has always encouraged her to pursue her dreams. “When she participated in her first pageant, her mother and brother hid it from me. It was only after she won that they told me of this interest of hers. I immediately told my daughter that there was no need to hide her interests. Times have changed and she must do what she is good at,” he said proudly while talking to reporters at the family’s residence in Shivalik City, Kharar.

“This is what you need to understand. Come out, speak for yourself 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,” Ms Sandhu said with aplomb.

Ms Sandhu, who started her journey in pageantry at the age of 17, has previously been crowned Miss Diva 2021, Femina Miss India Punjab 2019 and even was placed in Top 12 at Femina Miss India 2019.
