Sen, a model and a daughter of a retired air force pilot, bested 76 other beautiful women from countries all over the world.
Following is a Philippine Daily Inquirer article (dated May 22,1994) about her victory:
Carolina Gomez of Colombia and Minorka Mercado of Venezuela were first and second runners up, respectively.
Charlene Gonzales of the Philippines, Lu Parker of the United States, and Silvia Lakatosova of Slovak Republic were among the other finalists.
The event was carried by the Philippine television network ABS-CBN.
I still remember these pics. Time flies :)
ReplyDeleteI love Aishwarya Rai :) But I've always been curious about Sushmita. :)
ReplyDeleteI remember this time and Charlene Gonzales was one of the strongest bets for Ms. Universe but it turned out that Sushmita Sen was the one who gave the best answer.

The essence of a woman... made her win!
ReplyDeleteof course I won't ever forget that day...because it was my birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteLove Sushmita! But I do hope that our Filipina contestants will soon carry the crown again.. Shamcey was so close!
ReplyDeleteBefore seeing this post I didn't even know that Aishwarya Rai was a pageant winner. I wonder if Miss Belgium is still as pretty :D
ReplyDeleteShe is indeed a beauty and deserved to win .I watched the show on tv and was happy for her winning the crown.
ReplyDeleteI still remember her, she's so kind so sweet too bad I heard she haven't had a good lovelife
ReplyDeleteI was 4 years old back then, but i've read some posts about her.
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed a pageant history. While Asian beauties have been claiming posts in the international competitions, Philippines have got a lot of great women in the well-craved list already.

ooh, she's a beauty but i do love Aishwarya Rai more.
ReplyDeleteGiven that I'm 4 years old at the time, I wasn't aware. She's beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteshe's beautiful! where is she now?
ReplyDeleteAccording to Wikipedia:
Delete"In 2010, she ventured into partnership with Tantra Entertainment Private limited becoming the President of the 'I Am She' Miss Universe Contest and the sole representative of the Miss Universe pageant in India."
I think she has the best definition of the "essence of being a woman." She is really beautiful inside and out plus her intelligence made her to be a Miss U. Noks Sosa I SiningFactory.com
