In an interaction with PTI (Press Trust Of India), Harnaaz Sandhu opened up about people trolling her for her physique and calling her 'overweight' after gaining some weight and looking a bit healthy during her ramp walk at Lakme Fashion Week. During her interaction with the news agency, Harnaaz also shared about having Celiac disease. The model also encouraged people to be confident in their skin, as she shared the loud and clear message of body positivity. She said:

"I'm one of those individuals who was first bullied that 'she's too skinny' and now they bully me saying 'she's fat'. Nobody knows about my Celiac disease. That I can't eat wheat flour and many other things. I am one of the courageous and confident girls who believes even if I'm fat, even if I'm thin, it's my body, I love myself."

For the unversed, Celiac disease is an immune disorder that damages the person's small intestine and is also known as a chronic digestive disease. Talking about the foods that trigger this disease in a person's body are the foods that contain gluten protein. Well, it's incredibly hard for the people who are struggling with Celiac disease because gluten is something that is found in everyday eatable items like wheat, barley, rye, bread, pasta, cookies, cakes, and the list goes on. However, the saddest part of this disease is that there is no cure available at the moment. The only way to deal with it is to opt for a gluten-free diet for life. It's sad to know that Harnaaz Sandhu is suffering from this disease, and people are still making fun of her weight gain.
