Miss Universe 2021 Harnaaz Sandhu mother Ruby Sandhu is on cloud nine. In an interview with ET Times, she said that she is super excited and cannot express her feelings. "I'm getting goosebumps after her massive win. You can say yeh sab ek maa ki feelings hai,” Ruby Sandhu shared.
Ruby Sandhu reportedly didn't watch the ceremony as she was praying in the Gurudwara at that time. She had told God that she would go home only if her daughters wins. She revealed that she got very emotional when she reached Top 3.
"When Harnaaz won, I was literally crying like a baby and my tears welled up in my mask. I am thankful to God for this win. I don’t know how to express my happiness. At the Gurudwara people were looking at me as I was constantly saying 'Thank you babaji", she said.
She took to her social media handle on Monday much later after she was announced as the Miss Universe 2021 and expressed gratitude towards everyone who helped in her journey in separate posts. In a post, she wrote a lengthy message about how her win is dedicated to her motherland India and wrote, "India, this one is for you." As per reports, Sandhu will be moving to New York to carry out her work as a spokesperson of several causes including the Miss Universe pageant's. She will advocate for menstrual equality.
