Chandigarh, January 15
Just before USA’s R’bonney Gabriel was crowned as the Miss Universe, the outgoing Miss Universe Harnaaz Sandhu was seen getting emotional on stage as she took her final walk. Dressed in black, a visibly emotional Harnaaz had tears in her eyes as she blew kisses in the air and even stumbled a bit during the walk.

As Harnaaz Sandhu walked on stage, her voiceover played, “I was 17-years-old when I first took the stage and since then becoming Miss Universe was my goal. I’ve been given the megaphone on a worldwide stage to present the topic of menstrual equity before world leaders asking them to keep this conversation ongoing.”
Harnaaz Sandhu also thanked the Miss Universe Organisation for helping her in making her voice heard.
Sandhu also promised to continue making India proud.
“Remember to live this year to the fullest because tomorrow is never promised,” Harnaaz Sandhu told the new Miss Universe.
