Did Harnaaz Sandhu gain weight? Catriona Gray speaks about the issue.
CATRIONA GRAY – Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray defends Miss Universe 2021 Harnaaz Sandhu amid backlash about her weight gain.
Harnaaz Sandhu from India was crowned Miss Universe 2021. And whenever we say someone is a beauty queen, the automatic image that registers in our brain is a woman who has a perfect figure and a bright mind. However, the 2021 queen seemed to have gained some pounds that made some people bash her because of these physical changes.
Lamenting about this is PH’s 4th Miss Universe queen Catriona Gray who was crowned last 2018 with a historical win as one of the best and well-deserved wins as per many. During an interview with journalist Nickie Wang, she expressed that people were a bit too concerned to the point of being mean because of a woman’s image.
She said, “I think it’s really unfortunate that the public still finds the need to tear woman down in that way. We’re campaigning so hard that beauty queen or titles or Miss Universe should be more than an image.”
Gray added that Sandhu must not be limited to her body shape because as a spokesperson of India, she is perfectly doing good. She does her job as Miss Universe titlist very well and the Pinay beauty queen believed that such alone is enough already for her to be celebrated.
“What message do we send to other young girls or young people in the public or social media when they read those comments and perhaps compare their bodies? There’s nothing that comes nice out of it,” Gray said in the interview.
Gray furthered telling people to be respectful and not use such derogatory words to tear them down. She stressed that women must be celebrated and must be appreciated for what they can give such as their voice and their platform.
