Bollywood actress, Sushmita Sen became the first Indian woman to be crowned as Miss Universe in the year, 1994. Later, she added another feather to her hat when she won the title of Femina Miss India in the same year. There is no denying the fact that Sushmita brought immense pride and recognition to the nation by making her mark worldwide. Apart from this, she also proved her mettle of acting in many successful films, like Aankhen, Main Hoon Na, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya? and many others.
Recently, an old video of Sushmita Sen has been going viral on social media, which has raised our respect for the actress. A Reddit user dug out a throwback video of Sushmita from one of the press conferences, which didn't please her fans. In the viral video, Sushmita was asked an awkward question by a journalist, who compared her trajectory with the successful life of Aishwarya Rai and Priyanka Chopra, and said:
“Aap miss universe reh chuki hai. Aap ke baad Aishwarya Rai ji aayi. Priyanka Chopra ji aayi. Unhone bada kuch haasil kiya, Aapne bhi haasil kiya, thoda kam haasil kiya unke hisaab se.”

While the question posed by the reporter could have left any famous personality upset, Sushmita Sen maintained her calm and composure. Well known for her down-to-earth attitude, the actress humbly replied that she has made way less progress than the other Indian actresses, Aishwarya and Priyanka. Complimenting Priyanka Chopra for her achievements, Sushmita said:
“Bohat kam, in fact, Priyanka Chopra ne jo kiya hai woh bohat kam logon ne kiya hai. She made us very, very proud.”
However, it looked like the reporter wanted to check Sushmita Sen's patience hoping that she would react. He further asked the actress, “But jo aapki achievement hui hai woh apni jagah hai. Toh unke bare me kya kehna chahte hai?” Sushmita Sen then corrected him and said that actress, Lara Dutta, was the next Miss Universe after her. She further added:
“Mere baad Lara Dutta aayi hai Miss Universe bann kar. Uske baad unfortunately mili nhi hai par milegi, bilkul milegi Kyun ki hamara waqt aagaya hai. We are gonna win”
