In an episode of the talk show Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai, sushmita sen talked about her Miss india journey. She had told that when she came to know that aishwarya was taking part in this Miss india competition, she had already accepted defeat.
She withdrew her form fearing aishwarya Rai
Miss india 1994 had said- 'I came to know that this time aishwarya is also participating. So I said please return my form too. I am not going. I immediately withdrew my form saying that she is very beautiful. Very beautiful and the rest of the world knows her. I don't want to go with her, so I came home and got beaten up by my mother. Sushmita had told that her mother was very angry on her withdrawing her form.'
Resubmitted the form on her mother's insistence
Sushmita had told that she had agreed to fill the form again on her mother's insistence and motivation. Her mother had said- 'What is this that you have accepted defeat even before trying. Okay, let her win and if you think that she is the most beautiful girl in the world then don't lose to her. And what is the use of losing to someone else. Go and give your best shot.'
