Mirjana was born in Sremska Mitrovica in Serbia's Vojvodina region. She fled to New York in 2000 as a result of the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia during the Kosovo War.

In an interview with the Charlotte Observer, she recalled her journey from child refugee to high school dropout to McDonald's worker to the edge of pop culture fame. She spoke of her troubled teenage years, in which she regularly skipped school and got into fights. She ended up getting her General Equivalency Diploma just prior to being cast on the show.

After the show, Mirjana took many test shots, and modeled for Humble Creations Clothing and Fari Apparel.

On February 24, 2015, Mirjana was shot dead as she opened the door to two robbers who then killed the other two men in her house. Detectives confirmed the triple homicide was drug related.

On April 5, 2017, the man responsible for the murders was charged with four counts of first-degree murder (three for the incident involving Mirjana, another for a separate incident that occurred days later). He will receive four consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole.

Many ANTM alumni paid their respects to Mirjana on their social medias. Tyra tweeted "The Top Model family is deeply saddened by the tragic news of Mirjana Puhar. We love you, Mirjana. Forever." Chantelle, Denzel, Romeo, Raelia and Lenox also voiced their tributes, as well as Angelea Preston and Jaslene Gonzalez.

Will posted a tribute video on his YouTube featuring a compilation of ANTM alum remembering her, with all their final words being "Spread more love than we do hate". The video includes almost all of the cycle 21 cast, Jourdan, Cory, Renee, Nina, Alex, Mike, Chris S. and Bianca from cycle 20, Brittany from College Edition, Lisa, Laura and Dominique from All-Stars, Brittani and Molly from cycle 16, and Sundai from cycle 13. ...
