Harnaaz Sandhu made the world stop and stare, sending ripples of pride among Indians by winning the coveted Miss Universe title in 2021. The diva, who bagged the title in December last year, brought home the prestigious crown after a long wait of 21 years. Elated at her success, Harnaaz was seen breaking down on stage as former Miss Universe Lara Dutt crowned the 22-year-old. As Harnaaz celebrates the first anniversary of her win, the Chandigarh-based model turned nostalgic and dropped snippets of her Miss Universe journey on Instagram.
Along with documenting her journey – starting from the moment she was introduced along with the other competitors to the memorable announcement of her win, Harnaaz also penned a long, heartwarming note, where she expressed her gratitude to the “kind souls” who made her dream come true and helped her in making her “country proud.”
“While being on stage I prayed every moment to make my country proud in the best way possible I can. I don’t look back when I recall these memories. But I look forward to creating more and couldn’t have asked to start my dreams this way with all of you loving and supporting me,” wrote an emotional Harnaaz.
“Thank you to the kind souls who have showered so much love, support, and faith in me. I’m grateful today and forever. There’s so much more to come and it’s not going to be easy. But for now… Thank you Universe,” the former Miss World concluded.
