Sushmita Sen, Manushi Chhillar

On November 18, Manushi Chhillar was crowned as Miss World 2017, 17 years after India had last won this coveted title with Priyanka Chopra. And ever since the victory, Miss World Manushi Chhillar has been making appearances almost at every important ceremony representing our country. The beauty with brains who is a medical student had accidentally met actress Sushmita Sen in a flight.

Sushmita Sen who has been the winner of Miss Universe in 1994 motivated Manushi and wished her luck right before she bagged the crown. In the video, Sushmita was seen telling Manushi, “Give it your best shot and then leave the rest in God’s hands. All the best.” She even kissed Manushi’s hand and that surely boosted the girl’s confidence all the more. So, on Sushmita Sen’s birthday, Manushi shared a screenshot from the video by writing, “Wish you many many happy returns of the day @thesushmitasen! You are & will always be an inspiration! Still, remember the day we met inside the airplane”
