In the year 1994, Sushmita Sen created history by becoming the first ever Indian to be crowned Miss Universe. The 18-year old diva stunned one and all with her flawless beauty and witty answers. Ever since she has been the talk of the town for either her memorable acting performances or philanthropy initiatives.
However, there’s one more thing about her that never fails to win audience’s hearts time and again. That is, her graceful responses during media interactions, even when the meanest questions come by her way.
Recently, a throwback video featuring her is doing rounds on the internet. During an interview, Sushmita was asked about achieving less than Priyanka Chopra and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan who have also made India proud by winning Miss World crowns. Not getting ticked off, the actress not only gave a sweet response but also praised Priyanka Chopra for her commendable achievements.
To this Sushmita responded saying, “Bohot kum! In fact, Priyanka Chopra ne jo humare liye kiya hai, bohot kum logon ne kiya hai (A lot lesser! In fact, what Priyanka Chopra has done for us, very few people have). She has made us very, very proud.”
She added, “Ji, mere baad Lara Dutta bani hai, aur uske baad unfortunately humein koi Miss Universe mili nahi ab tak. Magar milegi, ab milegi, kyunki humara waqt aa gaya hai (After me, Lara Dutta won Miss Universe and unfortunately, we have not had a Miss Universe since then. But we will get one now because our time has come). As you can see, from the Olympics to everywhere else, we are going to win.”
