PCOS was a diagnosis that I was afraid of. No one spoke of it so therefore I thought I was dying of a rare disease. It was only after my school nurse sent me pamphlets explaining the condition in which I realized that 1 in 5 people with ovaries has this condition. As far as I am aware, the condition itself is not curable, but the side effects such as diabetes, infertility, irregular periods, weight gain, or loss can be treated.
So many people have PCOS, this condition is not rare at all. I use my voice to raise awareness of this condition in whichever way I possibly can

You have walked for London Fashion Week as a model, how was the experience?
Ms. Harnaam Kaur
It was an awesome experience. I was nervous at first. All the models were taller, thinner, and looked the part. I didn’t want to be there after feeling anxious. Had to have words with me and remind myself that I have a purpose, I am needed, I am worthy and I am valuable- this show has to happen and I need to walk this runway. I opened the show and was the first model on the runway. I know photographers made comments such as ‘why would you let a freak open the show?’ Well, it was this ‘freak’ that made headlines over all the other ‘normal’ looking models. HA!!!
The experience taught me to never shy away.

Women Fitness India, talks about diets and fitness regimes, do you follow any particular diet? What is your favorite cuisine?
Ms. Harnaam Kaur
I don’t like the word ‘diet.’ Why would I follow something where the first three letters spell the word ‘die?’ Rather I prefer the word Lifestyle because I want to live. I eat everything, am a big foodie. I absolutely adore food. If I have eaten and someone offers me food, I will never say no unless I am bloated! HA, I love Panjabi Khana, and I adore Italian food.
