“It’s not about how you look, it’s about who you are on the inside and how you treat people and what you believe in,” he said.

Harnaaz also said that seeing the negative comments of people, she is broken many times.

The Chandigarh-based model suffers from celiac disease, an immune response to eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye.

“I’m allergic to gluten. I can’t find wheat or anything that contains wheat. Also, I’m allergic to some soy and coconut. I’m allergic to eggs and I realized that when I came to New York. Because (eggs) is considered a vegetarian) and it is known as a non-vegetarian in India. It took me a while to realize that the things I was allergic to were still there. I didn’t know,” she shared.

Harnaaz is the first Indian woman to secure the Miss Universe win in 21 years after Lara Dutta won the pageant in 2000.
