Actress Sushmita Sen, the first Indian to be crowned Miss Universe, on Saturday celebrated her 1994 win by calling it a moment of honour for her.
In a series of tweets, she wrote: “I am truly at a loss for words! (and that’s rare) Thank you beautiful people! 22 years of India first Miss Universe. May 21 [sic].”
“May 21, 1994 - India won Miss Universe for the first time. I thank God to have given me the honour to bring it home,” she wrote.
Sen later thanked Colombian beauty Carolina Gomez, who was the first runner-up at the beauty pageant in 1994.
“Thank you Carolina Gomez, Miss Colombia 1993 for teaching me what ‘grace’ is! What a woman! I love you Carolina,” she wrote.
