Harnaaz is said to be one of the top favourites for the Miss Universe 2021 pageant, which is being held in Eilat, Israel.

In her interview with TOI, Harnaaz shared her excitement about being a part of the Miss Universe pageant. She said, “I always wanted to be called India on an international platform. Now it’s happening; I have gotten the chance to represent 1.3 million people of my country on the world stage. I am so privileged and grateful for the opportunities I have received.”

Opening up about her biggest challenge preparing to represent India on an international stage, Harnaaz said, “The biggest challenge for me and my team was that after my win (as LIVA Miss Diva Universe 2021), we had only one month to prepare for Miss Universe 2021. It was a challenge for me to hone every possible skill in this short time frame. The team and I have put in our best and I believe that we have utilized the time effectively and productively.”
