[@beingrajat2127]

Tumko Na Bhool Paayenge and Biwi No 1

[@AngelaSantosh-fm4pg]

I mostly loved her songs ...dilbar, mas mohol etc

[@PAWANKUMAR-rs8tz]

For me Aankhen is her best performance till date.

[@sushmitasennagarjunafan3523]

ratchakan! loved her sexy romance with Nagarjuna!

[@hussainshahify]

Dastak, zor, samay, biwi no 1,

[@rahul20201000]

How beautifully she engaged and envolved the audiance, sushmita Sen is more than just a pretty face , no matter how she ageing and looking she will always be queen with heath of gold

[@rahul20201000]

She is first Indian to win miss universe & first Indian woman to judge miss universe

[@Yash-db6sb]

Not the first Indian to judge......isha kopikar was also the judge at miss universe 2008 Meanwhile sush judge miss universe 2016

[@sincerelyors]

If you check the names of all the female who were born in 1994 at the Philippine Statistics office you will learn that majority of them were named after Sushmita. There are also male who were born that year named after her, Sushmito. If she comes back to the Philippines with nothing she will never go broke because Filipinos will open their doors and let her stay in our homes. She’s so revered in the Philippines.

[@kirtisharma5028]

[@rahul20201000]

It was not an easy task to be Miss universe as the age of 18 , you made us proud

[@handsomeheart2000]

20.40 - "It's hard if it's something you are fighting against, it isn't when you accept it" WOW! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@handsomeheart2000]

She is a beautiful person, extremely intelligent but so wise, respectful , grounded, ......gosh!!! I can go on and on....she reads all her comments and was so kind to reply to my comment on Instagram, where I asked her if she could send a birthday wish for my daughter Pearl, and I thought she would skip it in the sea of comments she gets, but voila! the next day I was flabbergasted to see a long birthday wish for my daughter Pearl and with wonderful words. It truly defines she is one woman who stands every bit of the essence of being a woman and we should be proud of it. Truly a Miss Universe forever ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.

[@thecordialcorner6634]

She is a blessing ❤

[@jyothsnapraveen3994]

Sushmita Sen speaks from her heart, I have lots of love, affection and respect for her .

[@priyanshuparth5968]

7:35 How beautifully she appreciated Aishwarya Rai also for becoming Miss World. She is a person with a golden heart. ❤🤗😍

[@handsomeheart2000]

When someone makes a film, the entire homework is done before the first shot, I am surprised how Farah after making the entire movie called up Sushmita to tell her that she didn't realise that Sushmita had 7-8 dialogues in the entire movie. And later when Sushmita's shining presence was felt by fans she brought down the first posters down (Which didn't have Sushmita in it too) and put up new posters to make the movie hit. I am sorry but Farah played very badly with Sushmita, however Sushmita has tremendous grace and I am sure she is intelligent to know..koi itni badi galti aise hi nahi kar sakta. A sorry doesn't mend everything.

[@megzz8240]

I loved how she talked about male / female balance she is literally a divine person

[@PinoyUSA504]

One of my favorite miss universe ever since ❤❤❤ so much love sushimita

[@Shrisha79]

Sushmita is a natural beauty with brains. She must stop destroying her face and age gracefully in my humble opinion.

[@onofreraquedan3511]

subhan Allah n Inshallah for ur dreams susmita

[@pjoshi7758]

She is beautiful

[@DrayRai26]

Beautiful lady

[@MsEternalpeace]

So down to earth. Such humility to acknowledge her own shortcomings and how OTHERS taught her so many things. Unlike the fake plastic beauty Miss World who acts as if she was born perfect. Never heard her acknowledge how the pageants are TRAINED. In fact she said, upon winning Miss World she was not surprised at all, but she just put her hands on her cheeks and showed that reaction because they were "trained to do so".

[@nayonikaghosh7434]

Don't spread cooked up stories. Aishwarya is class apart. Aishwarya is extremely humble and sincere lady. She has never been arrogant. Meanwhile, Sushmita is a big time manipulator. She only knows how to attract attention by her sweet talks. Very clever Bengali woman who always keeps on telling cooked up stories about herself. I always get negative vibes from her.

[@pawandada8099]

Good z video super

[@triloy3339]

The way she says JAAN..

[@pinkpanther02031]

Beautiful 😍

[@user-cn7vc1ws9t]

Very respectful ❤

[@nickdavidelijah]

for supporting and showing her love and admiration for the hijra community....I love sushmita even more. When heterosexual folk choose love and kindness for Gay and Trans people, it makes our lives easier, and the world a better place. so thank you maam

[@user-im7mc2xx9z]

Meeru miss universe kadhamma devatha really what are her natural supremacy energies really we are fortunate tosee you on screen.

If The Philippines (Filipinos) love you, they love you forever. 💖

[@user-cn7vc1ws9t]

Aarya superb web series ❤

[@sajidsaadat2059]

Her answer on feminism is on point. Love it.

[@dadaroyal3387]

Kal ki baat lagti hai 30 saal nikal gye isko dekhte dekhte aaj bhi waisi hi hai
