Sushmita Sen was asked why she won instead of Aishwarya Rai

• In  1994, Sushmita and Aishwarya participated in the Miss India competition.
• She won because she was “the best” version of herself.
• Aishwarya was the first runner-up in the Miss India competition.

In the same year, 1994, Sushmita Sen and Aishwarya Rai participated in the Miss India competition before going on to win the Miss Universe and Miss World titles, respectively. If she believed she deserved to win that evening, host Karan Johar had questioned her during her visit on Koffee With Karan in 2005. The actor was very clear that she won because she was “the best” version of herself, not because she was “better” than Aishwarya. Aishwarya was the first runner up in the Miss India competition, and she cited two justifications for her victory.

Sushmita was questioned by Karan Johar on why she felt she “definitely” deserved to win after she said she judged herself against Aishwarya that evening’s performance.“I don’t compare myself to Aishwarya’s performance. I think she was fabulous on stage. I do believe in two things: One, that night, I was the best and that’s why I deserved to win, not because I was better than someone else. It is only because I was at my best.”

“And the other, I think I was luckier than everyone else that night. My shooting star went right over my head and that’s an important thing at times when you are competing for anything. It’s not just your hard work because this 20-30 other girls who put in equal or more amount of hard work. It is also that dash of luck I had that night.”

“She is one of the most eloquent actresses we’ve had so far.” Another wrote, “So graceful.” One fan found her similar to Princess Diana and said, “Is it just me or does she give Lady Di vibes? Either way, love her! So gracious and charming.” Another said, “She sounded like princess Diana.” A comment also read: “What an answer, give her another crown for dat Karan…’Because I was my best’ & luck favors the brave.”

In the upcoming third season of her popular OTT series, Sushmita will reprise her role as Aarya. She recently began filming for the Ram Madhvani series in which she portrays the lead role. A loaded weapon is put in front of her on the table in the newly released teaser as she smokes a cigar in style.
