The most important part of Dia Mirza’s identity probably remains that she in an ex Miss Asia Pacific – title she won the same years Priyanka Chopra and Lara Dutt won the Miss World and Miss Universe pageants respectively.
And at a recent event Dia credited Sushmita Sen for inspiring her enough to walk on to winner platform at the international event. “I had very special moment in my life ten years ago. I met a woman who walked into a room at a contest I was taking part in. And she inspired me. She spoke so beautifully,” says Dia referring to Sushmita. “She reached out and connected to everyone of us because every word that she spoke touched our souls,” adds Dia.
Now that surely comes in good time considering Sushmita is currently coaching thirty finalists at her I Am She contest which will finally select one girl to represent India at the Miss Universe this year.
Sushmita Sen happens to be the first Miss Universe title winner from India and the only one apart from Lara Dutta.
