Thrilled to be back home, her win was celebrated as she inaugurated the Mumbai's new landmark, the Fountain of Joy at the Jio World Centre, making a royal entrance in a ‘Palkhi’, which is like a passenger conveyance, usually for one person, consisting of a covered or box like litter carried by means of poles resting on the shoulders of several men, formerly used by the royalties.

The crowd chanted Chak de Phatte as they welcomed our universe queen. An emotional and overwhelmed Harnaaz celebrated the victory with the media and her fans. Harnaaz ended her tour of the city of Mumbai at the iconic, new destination- The Fountain of Joy.
