Harnaam Kaur

Before becoming a recognized figure in the modeling scene, Harnaam Kaur first worked as a teaching assistant for a primary school. After garnering a high degree of attention from all forms of media in 2014, Kaur has had the chance to attend plenty of interviews and even became a motivational speaker. Among many things, though, it’s safe to say many people will recognize her best for her beard.

When she was around 12 years old, Kaur was diagnosed with a syndrome that elevated male hormones, resulting in her ability to grow a beard. While she initially tried ways to shave it, Kaur has since accepted it and even turned it into an asset. Since then, along with modeling, Kaur has become an activist and advocate for matters such as body image and mental health. Plus, a fun fact: she has named her beard Sundri, meaning beautiful.
