Sushmita Sen rose to immense prominence after she won the Miss Universe pageant in 1994. Since then, she has enchanted people not only with her beauty but also with her eloquent speaking style. Sushmita stepped into Bollywood in 1996 and has been entertaining the audience with her power-packed and versatile performances in several popular films and shows. Moreover, the actress never shied away from publicly talking about her romantic relationships.
Recently, we chanced upon an old clip of Sushmita’s appearance on a chat show. In one of the episodes of Farooq Shaikh’s talk show, Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai, the former Miss Universe opened up about her first boyfriend, Rajat Tara. She recalled the time when the latter helped her win the coveted pageant. While the host asked Rajat about Sushmita’s modelling days, he said that they met for the first time when she was auditioning for a model show.

After this revelation, Sushmita shared that Rajat Tara was her first boyfriend. She tagged him as an ‘important man’ in his life, and reminisced about the time when she had to shift to Mumbai to train for Miss Universe. She credited Rajat for being there for her in Mumbai while she was training for the pageant. She said:
“Aapko main ek bohot zaroori baat batana chahti hun. He is my first boyfriend, Rajat. Such an important man kyunki jab main Miss India jeeti aur mujhe Miss Universe ke liye train karne ke liye Bombay aana pada, toh Bombay mere liye ek bohot hi foreign sheher tha kyunki main Delhi mein badi huyi hun, wahan pe rone lagi Delhi mein ke mujhe nahi jana Bombay, mujhe nahi jana Miss Universe, akele akele nahi karna.”
