What is the story about?
The most celebrated Miss Universe and Bollywood actress, Sushmita Sen, recently shared her experience of meeting US President Donald Trump while she managed the Miss India franchise from 2010 to 2012, when the politician owned
the organisation.
“The Miss Universe Organisation called me, and said, ‘Would you like to take the franchise?’ I was like, ‘What? Really? That was like a dream!’ I signed a pretty intense contract when I took on this franchise, and that was owned by Donald Trump — which didn’t make it easy or fun,” said Sen while talking to Mid-Day.
Clarifying that Trump was not her direct boss, she shared, “Luckily, the only people who were my boss at that time were Paramount Communications and Madison Square Garden, because they owned Miss
Universe when I was an employee of Miss Universe for a year. I was a franchise owner for Donald Trump.”
When questioned whether Trump left an impression on her, the actress replied, “There are some people who leave an impression, not necessarily because of their achievements or power. Just for the people that they are. He is not one of them.”
Sushmita Sen created history when she became the first Indian woman to win the Miss Universe title in 1994. She featured in movies likeDastak, Maine Pyaar
Kyun Kiya?, Biwi No. 1, Chingari, Main Hoon Na, Tumko Na Bhool Paayenge, Kyo Kii... Main Jhuth Nahin Bolta, Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai and Aankhen among others. After a break, Sushmita made a comeback with web shows like Taali and Aarya. While the latter ran for three seasons, the former was based on the life of transgender activist Shreegauri Sawant. Directed by Ravi Jadhav, the show also featured Ankur Bhatia and Aishwarya Narkar among others in prominent roles.
