How was Miss Universe Sushmita Sen’s relation with her father; Know shocking facts

According to Sushmita Sen, she is a daddy’s daughter. In a recent interview, Sushmita Sen—who turns 48 today—discussed the highs and lows of her relationship with her father Shubeer Sen. She described how his hopes for his daughter had been dashed when he found out she would be competing in the Miss India contest.

Sushmita accidentally entered Miss India

Sushmita stated that she accidentally happened across the Miss India contest and never thought she would become an actor. Her father, an officer in the Indian Army, aspired for her to become an IAS officer. “Door door tak in my family, there’s no one from the film industry. My father wanted me to be an IAS officer so I was preparing accordingly. When the bomb was dropped on my father that she wants to enter Miss India, my father didn’t speak to me for a bit. I remember having this very emotional moment with my father when I promised him, ‘Baba I have to wear a swimsuit. I cannot not wear it. It’s part of the show. But I promise you I’ll add respect to it. It will not be crass,” Sushmita said in the interview.

This incident moved father of Sushmita Sen

Sushmita continued, saying that her father, an army man, was moved and happy when she told him she would be representing India in the Miss Universe pageant after she had won the Miss India competition. “I never did go to a college and graduate, which was a big problem with my father. Because he always said, ‘Beta, do whatever, but have a degree.’ Wo mere mei bhi problem hai (I also have the same problem). I made Renee (daughter) also get her degree. That was my condition. Jisse kabhi koi ye nahi bole ki ye nahi kiya toh kya kar logi (So that no one can dare say if you can’t do this, what would you do). Anyway, my famous words to my baba were ‘I’ll graduate in life.’ Very recently, when I got an honourary doctorate, my father had gone to receive it. I was sick as a dog that day. How apt that he received the doctorate from Mr. Narayana Murthy,” Sushmita said in the same interview.
