Short Biographies

Sushmita Sen

Sushmita Sen (born 19 November 1975) has become a symbol of victory, due to her Miss Universe 1994 pageant title win, and her subsequent success as an actress and model. She hails from a family of Airforce leaders. She had even attended the Air Force Golden Jubilee Institute in Delhi, but followed a different path when she found her true calling. She made her first Bollywood appearance in Dastak (1996) and then starred in the Tamil romantic action film Ratchagan (1997). From a lead role in musical hit Sirf Tum (1999) to winning the Filmfare for Best Supporting Actor for her role in Biwi no.1 (1999), she has become a lesson for people who think beauty cannot have substance.

Sen's Miss Universe journey was not a smooth one. According to her, she had lost her passport a few days before leaving for Miss Universe. In fact, she was asked to switch pageantry contests with Aishwarya Rai, which meant that she was asked to step down from the Miss Universe contest and let Aishwarya Rai take her place, and she takes Aishwarya's place for the Miss World contest. But she refused and her persistence ultimately earned her the coveted title of Miss Universe.
She's still praised for adopting a baby girl, Renee in 2000 and a second girl, Alisah, in 2010. Sen revealed that she is suffering from Addison's disease and requires lifelong steroid drugs to cope with the illness.
