On multiple occasions of what was the contest, the beauty queen expressed that she is frequently inspired by her mother, because the mother was able to break generations of a dominant patriarchy, as occurs in India, to become a gynecologist. Harnaaz not only shows his pride for his mother for the success she obtained in this career, but for having been able to lead her family.

This background, she adds, has prompted her to support women, which is why Harnaaz grew up working with her mother in health camps that dealt with women’s health and menstrual hygiene. Keenly aware of the privilege her mother’s struggles have bestowed on her, Harnaaz advocates for the empowerment of women, particularly their constitutional rights to education, careers, and their freedom of choice.

Professionally, Harnaaz is an actress with two Punjabi LMS, scheduled for release in 2022, and she hopes to rehearse other characters that break the world’s stereotypes of women. His favorite actress is his compatriot Priyanka Chopra.

In her spare time, she enjoys the company of friends, loves yoga, dancing, cooking, horseback riding, and playing chess. You never miss an opportunity to jump into a pool to rejuvenate yourself.

She believes in the saying: “Great things happen to those who don’t stop believing, trying, learning, and being grateful.” That same spirit reflected when Steve Harvey, host of Miss Universe, asked what he advises young women to deal with the pressures of day to day.
