Former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen turned heads as the showstopper at the Bombay Times Fashion Week on Sunday evening. The actor graced the ramp in a captivating black and golden choli with a matching lehenga, forgoing earrings and opting for just a necklace. Numerous videos and photos of her confident ramp walk quickly circulated across social media platforms.
The actor’s appearance generated significant buzz, leading to several fan comparisons with other prominent figures in Indian cinema. One fan on Instagram commented that her ramp walk was “much better than” that of actor Aishwarya Rai, while others declared her the “undisputed ramp queen,” claiming that Kangana Ranaut follows her lead.
Comments ranged from praising her enduring beauty to her aura. “She looks so great, much better than Aishwarya Rai. She is looking stunning,” read one comment. Another fan noted, “She just looked like the young Sushmita with that hairstyle, no doubt she still looks the same.” Other users remarked on her strong presence, with comments like, “Why is her look giving that assassin vibe from Julius Caesar?” and “She’s giving Disney villain vibes in the best ways possible.”
Sushmita Sen and Aishwarya Rai have a shared history from the 1994 Femina Miss India pageant. Sushmita went on to become the first Indian to win the Miss Universe title that year, while Aishwarya, the first runner-up, won Miss World.
On the work front, Sushmita was last seen in the thriller drama Aarya, with the second half of Season 3 airing on February 9, 2024. Aishwarya’s last release was Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan: II (2023), and she has yet to announce her next project. Kangana Ranaut was last seen in Emergency on January 17 and is set to make her Hollywood debut in the horror drama Blessed Be the Evil.
