In 1994, two veteran actresses of Indian cinema were crowned Miss World and Miss Universe. These beauties were Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Sushmita Sen. But do you know that because of Aishwarya, Sushmita has been beaten a lot at home? Let us tell you an interesting story related to both the actresses.
It is about that time when even good models failed in comparison to the beauty of Aishwarya Rai. Some people used to step back just because Aishwarya participated in beauty pageants. However, there was one actress who did not know about modeling, but still, she defeated Aishwarya. This actress was Sushmita Sen.
When Aishwarya Rai was already a big name in the modeling world, Sushmita was just trying to make her place. It is 1994. There was Miss India Beauty Pageant and Aishwarya Rai was also going to participate in this beauty pageant.
25 girls scared of Aishwarya’s name
After hearing the name of Aishwarya Rai, not one or two but 25 girls withdrew their names. When Sushmita Sen came to know about this, she also got scared and withdrew her form. This was revealed by the actress herself on late actor Farooq Shaikh’s show ‘Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai‘.
Sushmita Sen had also taken back steps
Sushmita Sen had told in Farooq Sheikh’s show that when she had gone to submit her form for Miss India, someone had told her, ” This time 25 girls have withdrawn their names from Miss India, think, do you want to do it or not?'” When Sushmita asked the man the reason, he said, “This time Aishwarya Rai is participating in Miss India. “
I was beaten by my mother
Sushmita Sen had said, “I said, ‘Please return my form also. I also do not want to go. Ash (Aishwarya) knows this because I told her that I had immediately withdrawn my form. I said- She is very beautiful and the rest of the world knows her. I just don’t want to go. I came home and got the shoes from my mother.”
Last-minute competition given to Aishwarya
Sushmita Sen had further said, “He said, ‘What is this method? You gave up before even trying. So okay let her win, if you think she is the most beautiful girl then don’t lose to her and what is the use of losing to anyone else? Go and give your best. Then I went the next day and had a last-minute entry and what happened after that, I remember till today.”
