Sushmita Sen's reaction on being compared to Aishwarya Rai 

Sushmita Sen and Aishwarya Rai both were participants in Miss India 1994 pageant and it was expected of Aishwarya Rai to win the crown as she was a famous model by then. Sushmita Sen on the popular chat show revealed that she most definitely deserved to win. On being asked about why she deserved to win more than Aishwarya Rai, she said, "I don’t compare myself to Aishwarya’s performance, I think she was fabulous on stage. I do believe in two things. One is, that night, I was my best and that is why I deserved to win. Not because I was better than someone else. It was only because I was my best.”

"The other is that I was sort of luckier than everyone else that night. My shooting star went right over my head. I think that is important at times. When you are competing for anything, it is not just your hard work, because there are 20-30 girls who put in equal or more amounts of hard work. It is also that dash of luck, which I think I had that night" added Sushmita. After winning the Miss India title, she went on to become Miss Universe in the same year.
