Sushmita Sen is one of the most loved beauty queens of all time. She became the first India to win the Miss Universe crown. During her Q&A at the Miss Universe 1994, Sushmita was asked: “What is the essence of being a woman?” To which she answered: "Just being a woman is God's gift that all of us must appreciate. The origin of a child is a mother, and is a woman. She shows a man what sharing, caring and loving is all about. That is the essence of a woman."
Her answer not only reflected her great thinking but the expressions with which she delivered it, showed that she is natural and truthful. She was not being pageant patty, rather she lived her life up to the principle she stated during her final question and answer round, the words which garnered her not only the Miss Universe crown, but also immense love and support from pageant enthusiasts all over the world.
