In 2022, Harnaaz Sandhu shared that she faced bullying for her weight gain after winning Miss Universe. But now, her stunning and glamorous look in Baaghi 4 has left fans amazed. Harnaaz Sandhu, who became the third Indian after Sushmita Sen and Lara Dutta to win the Miss Universe title in 2021, is now gearing up for her Bollywood debut with Tiger Shroff in Baaghi 4. Once targeted with trolling and body-shaming for her post-pageant weight gain, the actress has now amazed everyone with her remarkable transformation.

Harnaaz Sandhu’s stunning transformation

On August 22, the makers of Baaghi 4 released the song Bahli Sohni, starring Harnaaz Sandhu alongside Tiger Shroff. What grabbed everyone’s attention was Harnaaz’s stunning transformation and glamorous look. Fans even hailed her as the new-age “desi girl.” In the track, she is seen flaunting her toned figure in elegant saree ensembles, with her graceful dance moves and captivating screen presence earning her a flood of admiration and praise.

 

A video showcasing her looks from the song was shared by an Instagram user, who captioned it: “DESI GIRL FR! Miss Universe 2021, Harnaaz, the queen slayed, devoured, mothereddd so harddd! Reminds me so much of Priyanka and Deepika in her latest music video from the upcoming film Baaghi 4!” Complimenting her transformation, one fan asked:

“Wow, when did this happen?” Another wrote: “Her body is bodying back again.” One comment read: “She gives me Priyanka Chopra vibes.” Another added: “She’s giving Sushmita Sen from Main Hoon Na vibes.”

After being crowned Miss Universe in 2021, Harnaaz faced online criticism for gaining weight. During her India tour, her transformed look sparked debates on social media. In April 2022, she disclosed that she was suffering from coeliac disease, a condition that restricts her from eating wheat and several other foods.

Later that year, Harnaaz spoke about her experience of being bullied in an interview with People Magazine. “I was bullied for gaining weight. It was uncomfortable and really surprising to see how people started having their opinions, which should not really matter. It’s not about how you look; it’s about who you are inside, how you treat people, and what you believe in.”
