New York: Miss Universe 2021 Harnaaz Sandhu has revealed about her increased weight and the threats that followed. Along with this, Harnaaz Sandhu told how he learned to be happy after coming out of all this.

The Indian-origin beauty queen told People, “Physically I’ve kind of grown up, put on weight, which I’m completely comfortable with right now. But due to this, some people may have a lot of problems with weight, I was threatened to gain weight. It was inconvenient and really surprising for me to see how people started to put forth their own opinions that didn’t really matter.

It’s not about how you look, it’s about what and who you are on the inside and how you treat people and what you believe in. I was really focused towards my goal and I was not thinking about my health. The full time we were working out, doing a lot of activities and right after winning, I had about a month to rest.

During that time, I didn’t really work, and I was just eating and enjoying the time with my family. I never thought it would start showing up on my body. So some of the online comments were so cruel. Harnaaz Sandhu said, in such a situation I suffered a lot, I felt very bad, till I broke down. It was really sad.

Sandhu gained weight but was not feeling well, and a doctor diagnosed her with allergies she never knew she had.

The model and actress says, I am allergic to eggs and I realized this when I came to New York.

Now that the 70th Miss Universe title holder has taken hold of her health, her mindset has changed.

Sandhu says, I have gone through that phase in my life where I used to feel bad about everything, now, I have started loving everything. It’s okay to cry. It’s okay to be sad.

Sandhu hopes that sharing her story will help others who struggle with body image and self love. Along with this, if you love yourself and believe in yourself, then one day victory is yours.
