Now more than a decade later, she rocks her look, models and enjoys social media attention. The Indian-origin British model has also given TedTalks and is a body positivity activist. (Image: Instagram)

Aside from being a brown kid in England, she also had to deal with being called “man” and “beast”. (Image: Instagram)
Through the years, she realized that hair removal not only proved the bullies right but also meant her facial hair was something to be ashamed of. (Image: Instagram)
Harnaam is quirky and funny when it comes to her Instagram posts. Here, the model poses atop a moped, out for shopping for her cousin’s 15th birthday. (Image: Instagram)
The life coach also appeared on the front cover for the Glamour United Kingdom 2020. The cover reads a quote by her: “Society wonders: how dare I create my own rules for being a woman?” (Image: Instagram)
Harnaam Kaur also runs a popular YouTube account. For her Vlogs, she visits various countries and eats delicious foods. Here is Harnaam having her last Max burger meal in Copenhagen. (Image: Instagram)
Having fought stereotypes all her life took a heavy toll on her mental health. According to Harnaam, whenever she feels “a mess” now, she just clicks amazing selfies. (Image: Instagram)
