Sushmita
Sen
revealed
an
interesting
detail
about
the
time
she
won
the
Miss
India
title.
Sushmita
shared
that
she
wore
a
gown
which
was
sewn
by
a
Sarojini
Nagar
tailor.
In
an
old
video
that
has
resurfaced
on
the
internet,
Sushmita
says
that
at
the
time,
she
could
not
afford
designer
gowns.
So
she
got
one
of
her
gowns
stitched
by
a
tailor
in
New
Delhi's
Sarojini
Nagar.
When
she
won
the
beauty
pageant,
she
realized
that
one
needs
the
right
intention
and
money
to
get
what
one
wants.
Talking
on
the
show
Jeena
Isi
Ka
Naam
Hai,
Sushmita
said,
"We
did
not
have
so
much
money
to
afford
designer
gowns
on
stage;
we
were
supposed
to
wear
four
different
costumes.
We
are
middle-class
people
and
we
knew
our
restrictions.
My
mother
said,
'So
what?
They
are
not
going
to
look
at
your
clothes,
they
are
going
to
look
at
you.'
So
we
went
to
shop
at
Sarojini
Nagar
market
(a
flea
market
in
Delhi).
Downstairs,
in
the
garage,
there
was
a
local
tailor
who
made
petticoats.
We
gave
him
the
material
and
told
him,
'This
will
come
on
TV,
so
do
a
good
job.'
He
made
my
winning
gown
out
of
that
fabric,
and
my
mother
made
a
rose
out
of
the
remaining
fabric."
Adding
that
they
made
gloves
out
of
socks
and
some
elastic,
she
said,
"The
day
I
won
Miss
India
wearing
that
gown
was
a
very
big
day
for
me.
I
realised
that
you
don't
need
money
to
get
what
you
want;
your
intention
should
be
right."
