On December 13, 2021, the Indian model Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu became Miss Universe 2021. However, in recent days she has been the target of all kinds of comments for her physical change following the universal reign.
Almost three months following winning the title of the most beautiful woman in the universe, the 22-year-old has participated in several social events where she has shown her new image. As expected, the debate on social networks has not been long in coming and, although there are those who emphasize that this is inclusion of the diversity of bodies and defend it, as is the case of former beauty queen Alicia Machado, others have sent strong comments on the appearance of the Indian beauty.
“All it takes is the courage to come back stronger, always believe in your strengths and never give up! But most importantly, never doubt yourself”, reads one of the publications of Instagram of Miss Universe. While in yet another he stands out: “Don’t let others tell you what you can’t do. Don’t let the limitations of others limit your vision. If you can remove your doubts and believe in yourself, you can achieve what you never thought possible.”
However, unfairly, the comments that stand out and abound the most on platforms like Instagram are negative. Among the misguided opinions are: “If you get into a beauty contest and the main thing is to be thin… well, you already know that you have to keep it up”, “The Paraguayan woman is still more beautiful and triumphing, in short, it didn’t take long for agree with us” and “an overweight person will never look better than a thin person”.
What does another Miss Universe say?
After comparative photos of Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu went viral on social networks, former Venezuelan beauty queen Alicia Machado spoke regarding it.
Through a comment, the winner of the first edition of the house of the famous of Telemundo, said: «Thank God this beautiful queen and brave woman does not have Mister Pig (Donald Trump) as boss. This 2022 is another era of empathy, love of neighbor and today bullying is a crime.
Similarly, another group of users have harshly criticized the beauty pageant and wonder “why they don’t question it like Machado.” The actress and television presenter became Miss Universe in 1996 and like Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu following a few months as queen, she gained a little weight.
Such was the impact on society more than 20 years ago that due to her subtle change she was forced to return to the figure she had when she was crowned the winner of the contest. Even on television it was broadcast how the model and actress performed an exercise routine dictated by a professional trainer.
While Trump, director of the event, was present in front of the cameras to talk regarding the physique of the former beauty queen, although he assured that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
“They took me to the gym, and I was exposed to 90 media outlets. Donald Trump was there. (I) had no idea what was going on. At that moment he was regarding to cry in front of all the cameras. I told him: ‘I don’t want to do this’. Mr. Trump replied: ‘I don’t care,’ Machado once relieved the The New York Times.
