TIL Desk Bollywood/ Former Miss Universe winners Sushmita Sen (1994) and Lara Dutta Bhupathi (2000) have run loving Instagram posts congratulating Harnaaz Sandhu for bringing the Miss Universe title back to India after 21 years. What makes the win special is that Harnaaz was born in the year when Lara wore the crown. Harnaaz is being hailed as destiny’s child.

Sushmita, who’s seen a comeback to the limelight in Ram Madhvani’s web series ‘Aarya’, which is now in its second season, posted two pictures of Harnaaz from the pageant and wrote in the caption: “#yehbaat ‘Har Hindustani Ki Naz” Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu #MissUniverse2021 #INDIAAAAAA Soooooo proud of you!!!! Congratulations @harnaazsandhu_03.”

May you enjoy every moment of learning & sharing this incredible global platform @missuniverse will provide you … MAY YOU REIGN SUPREME!!!”
