As a part of the top three-round, when asked, “What advice would you give to young women watching on how to deal with the pressures they face today?" Harnaaz responded, “The biggest pressure the youth of today is facing, is to believe in themselves. To know that you are unique makes you beautiful.

You are the voice of your own. I believed in myself and that is why I am standing here today."
