One of the most-loved Miss Universe queens in the ’90s, Sushmita made history when she was crowned the first Indian Miss Universe in 1994 by Miss Universe 1993 Dayanara Torres at the pageant held in Manila.
Sushmita had her own Indian franchise named I Am She, a national beauty pageant, started in 2010, which used to send its winner to Miss Universe pageant. However, in 2012 they relinquished the license.
