description: "Sahar Biniaz is a Persian-Canadian actress, model and beauty pageant titleholder who won Miss Universe Canada 2012 and Miss Universe Persia 2025. She had a recurring role on the hit TV show Sanctuary as the Hindu goddess of power Kali. She was set to represent Iran at Miss Universe 2025 pageant held in Thailand, but later withdrew in solidarity with and out of respect for her national director, Golshan Barazesh — whose unexplained detention in Iran is a serious human rights concern."
