On November 19, Sushmita Sen turned 50, and fans looked back at one of her biggest achievements — winning Miss Universe in 1994.
At just 18, Sushmita made history by becoming the first Indian Miss Universe, beating 76 contestants in Manila, Philippines.
The iconic question she was asked:
“What for you is the essence of being a woman?”
Her memorable answer was:
“Being a woman is a gift from God… A mother teaches a man to care, share, and love. That is the essence of being a woman.”
This answer became legendary.
During a recent session on November 16, Manika Vishwakarma, Miss Universe India 2025, was asked the same question.
She first praised Sushmita’s answer, saying that women nurture and bring beauty to life.
Then she shared her own thoughts:
Women should see themselves as individuals first, not only through roles given by society.
The essence of being a woman is to nurture, beautify, embrace, and uplift everything around them.
“To be a woman is to be infinite,” she said.
After 1994, Sushmita built a strong Bollywood career with films like Biwi No.1 and Main Hoon Na. Recently, she won praise for her web series Aarya and her role as Gauri Sawant in Taali.
