Ever since her return to India, Miss Universe Harnaaz Sandhu has been touring different places of the country and participating in numerous public events. From setting the ramp on fire at the Lakme fashion week to Meeting ITBP Jawan’s and boosting their morale, Harnaaz has consistently been on news.
Even though she received a lot of praises for her different looks on different occasions there was also a segment of people which noticed and criticized her for her apparent ‘weight gain’.
People have been brutal on social media trolling the miss universe for her weight gain, and this never-ending tweak of body shaming and criticism, Harnaaz has finally reacted on the comments of these trolls.
Speaking to PTI, The miss universe said that she’s suffering from celiac diseases, an immune reaction to eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye.
Here’s what she was quoted telling:
“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,”
Harnaaz further added:
“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 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.
Harnaaz Sandhu said that she find herself beautiful no matter the size.
