‘REIGNING MISS UNIVERSE WEIGHT GAIN SHOCKED ME’
The beauty queen Harnaaz Sandhu, who won the Miss Universe pageant in 2021 has been receiving mean comments on social media for her weight gain and changed appearance since winning the crown.
Though Sandhu revealed in 2022 that she suffers from celiac disease, an immune reaction to eating gluten trolls believe she made up the disease to gain weight on purpose.
@gambar2random:
“So, the disease is not treatable? And it magically appeared after she was crowned. The disease is just a silly excuse.”
@Itsmenayelin:
“She doesn’t even look like the person that won last year. She looks like she doesn’t even care for herself. I’m not body-shaming her. She just always looks like a mess to me.”
@debi.kala:
“She wasn’t regular size when she won though.”
@jasluana:
“Hate? Nah, it’s not hate. She’s a Miss Universe, we want to know what happened to her.”
@Micomiloloco:
“I’m so glad her reign is going to end.”

HARNAAZ SANDHU: ‘NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT MY CELIAC DISEASE’
Hindu Stan Times reports that the reigning Miss Universe Harnaaz Sandhu also told PTI that she finds herself beautiful no matter the size.
“I’m one of those individuals who was first bullied that ‘she’s too skinny’ and now they bully me saying ‘she’s fat’. Nobody knows about my celiac disease. That I can’t eat wheat flour and many other things,”
“When you go to a village, you see changes in your body. And I went to New York for the very first time… It is a whole other world altogether.”
“I’m someone who believes in body positivity and one of the Miss Universes for the very first time is going through that. On the platform of Miss Universe, we talk about women’s empowerment, womanhood, and body positivity. And if I am going through that… I know there are a lot of people who are trolling me and it’s okay because that’s their mindset, their stigmas, but there are a lot of other individuals who are trolled every day irrespective of their Miss Universe or not. I’m empowering them by making them feel that if I feel gorgeous, you are beautiful too,” she said.
“For me everyone is beautiful. It’s about how you represent yourself and what kind of ideology you have. Your features do not matter at one moment.”
