Miss Universe Harnaaz Sandhu was hospitalized for three days before the contest

Today is a special day for Miss Universe 2021 Harnaaz Sandhu as she celebrates her first birthday since she won the prestigious title last year. The diva, who turns 22 today, had a recent virtual interaction with anchor Sachin Kumbhar on the eve of her birthday on Miss Diva.org’s social media handle. She spoke about a variety of topics ranging from birthday celebrations and life in New York to how crucial it is to take care of one’s mental health.

“The days of pinching myself to see if it’s genuine are long gone. Every morning now, I wake up with a sense of gratitude,” she said. “It’s all about what comes after.” While admitting that life after the crown has brought many changes in her life, she remains the same old Harnaaz.
