Actor model Harnaaz Sandhu, 21, Miss India 2019, who comes from the city beautiful of Chandigarh has been crowned Miss Universe-2021 at the world contest held at Eilat in Israel on Monday, beating contestants from 79 other countries . She brought home the Miss Universe title after 21 years. Lara Dutta, actress and model had claimed Miss Universe title in 2000.
Paraguay’s Nadia Ferreira became first runner-up while Lalela Mswane, Miss South Africa was the second runner-up.
The last question that clicked her title among five top finalists was the question the organiser of the event asked from Ms Harnaaz: “ Ms. India, Many people think climate change is a hoax, what would you do to convince them otherwise”?
Harnaaz Replied. “Honestly my heart breaks to see how nature is going through a lot of problems due to our irresponsible behaviour and I totally feel that this is the time to take actions and talk less, because our action could either kill or save nature; to prevent and protect is better than repent and repair and this is what I’m trying to convince you guys today”.
Harnaaz Sandhu (in Photo greeting audience with Indian Namaste) had won the Miss Femina 2019 title.
Miss Universe Show was hosted by Steve Harvey, national TV anchor of America.
