The question the judges asked Harnaaz during the pageant was, "What advice would you give to young women watching on how to deal with the pressures they face today?"

Stop comparing yourself with others, and let's talk about more meaningful things worldwide. Come out, voice for yourself, because you are the captain of your life. You are the voice of your own. I believed in myself, and that is why I am standing here today."

Harnaaz Sandhu replied, "My heart breaks to see how nature is going through a lot of issues, and it is all due to our reckless behaviour. I feel that this is the time to take action and talk less. Because our every action could save or kill nature. Preventing and protecting is better than repent and repair, and this is what I am trying to convince you guys today."
