It was 30-years ago on May 21, 1994 that
an 18-year-old woman with a dazzling smile and towering personality won the
Miss Universe beauty pageant. It was India’s first, and Sushmita Sen made history. Thirty years later, Sushmita’s elder daughter Renee has celebrated the
momentous day with a special note for her mother, and a throwback photo.
“Thirty years ago, today, this marvellous young woman, at the tender age of 18,
that I am so grateful is my mother created history as India’s first Miss
Universe ♥️,” wrote Renee on Instagram.
“...You continue to live your life with
utmost grace, compassion and love that I am yet to see in another human
being,...” Renee further wrote. A daughter looking up to her mother with pride
and drawing inspiration is so powerful and heartwarming.
Sushmita also posted on Instagram, marking the special
occasion, and giving a shout out to her daughter. “This little girl, who I met
in an orphanage, taught an 18 yr old me, life’s most innocent yet profound
lessons, ones that I live by to this day” 🤗❤️💋 she wrote. Both mother and daughter signed off
with Dugga Dugga. See the post here.
