Harnaaz Sandhu poses with Harmanpreet Kaur: Punjab raised us, India shaped us, universe became our stage

Miss Universe Harnaaz Sandhu shares an inspiring meet with cricket captain Harmanpreet Kaur, celebrating their Punjabi roots and India's global icons.

"Punjab raised us, India shaped us, and the World & Universe became our stage. - Harnaaz Sandhu"

Mumbai, Jan 10

Actress-former Miss Universe Harnaaz Sandhu shared a proud moment with Indian women's cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur, reflecting on their shared roots and global journeys.

Calling it an honour to meet the skipper, Harnaaz celebrated how Punjab nurtured the two, India moulded their identities, and the world gave them a stage to shine.

Harnaaz took to Instagram to share a picture with Harmanpreet, capturing a celebratory moment from the opening match of the Women's Premier League (WPL).

In the image, the former beauty queen looks radiant in a golden ensemble as she poses alongside Harmanpreet, who cuts a confident figure in the Mumbai Indians jersey, embodying the spirit of a champion.

For the caption, Harnaaz wrote: "Punjab raised us, India shaped us, and the World & Universe became our stage. Honoured to catch up with Captain @imharmanpreet_kaur today! Chak de phatte @wplt20."

The fourth edition of the Women's Premier League (WPL) commenced on January 9 with a star-studded opening ceremony at the Dr. DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Friday, with Harnaaz, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Honey Singh adding glitz to the pre-match entertainment.

Harnaaz opened the evening with a monologue celebrating women's achievements across India, declaring, 'We are ready' to set the tone for her performance.

Mumbai Indians, led by Harmanpreet, are the most successful side with two titles and are currently the defending champions too, while Smriti Mandhana's RCB won the 2024 edition. Delhi Capitals, runners-up in all three previous seasons, will again be aiming to break their title drought.

Talking about Harnaaz, she made her acting debut last year with "Baaghi 4". Directed by A. Harsha, the film also stars Tiger Shroff, Sanjay Dutt, and Sonam Bajwa. It is the fourth installment in the Baaghi film series.

It is an unofficial remake of the 2013 Tamil film Ainthu Ainthu Ainthu. In the film, a grieving man awakens from a coma and sets out to uncover the truth about his missing girlfriend who nobody believes even exists.

This is the kind of content we need more of! Two icons from humble backgrounds showing that with hard work, you can conquer the universe. Harmanpreet's leadership in cricket and Harnaaz's global win - both make every Indian proud.

While I appreciate their achievements, I wish the article focused a bit more on their journey and struggles rather than just the glitz of the WPL opening. Their stories of reaching the top are probably more motivational than the event itself.

As someone new to following Indian sports and culture, this is fascinating! The way they connect their regional identity (Punjab) with national pride is beautiful. The WPL seems like a fantastic platform for women athletes.

Power of Punjabi spirit on full display! From the fields of Punjab to Miss Universe and leading the Indian cricket team - what a journey. Hope this inspires millions of young girls in small towns across India. The future is female! ✨
