News India Live, Digital Desk: Miss India Tie-Breaker Question: The year 1994 is the golden page in the history of the Indian beauty pageant, which will always be remembered. India got two international beauty queens in the same year – Sushmita Sen won the title of ‘Miss Universe’ and Aishwarya Rai became ‘Miss World’. But before the world was covered, both these beauties were face to face with each other in India, and Sushmita Sen won that match.
Everyone was surprised, because by that time Aishwarya had become a well-known face of the modeling world and was considered a strong contender for victory. For years, the question has been in the discussion that why did Aishwarya Rai lose the match? Now, filmmaker Prahlad Kakkar has made a disclosure on this, which has rejoined the old debate.
Is it really the reason for ‘weak English’ defeat?
According to Prahlad Kakkar, a major reason for Aishwarya Rai’s Miss India crown was her ‘weak English’. He told that Sushmita Sen had studied from a convent school, due to which her English was better and good. On the contrary, Aishwarya was starting her career at that time and did not have much strong hold on the English language. Kakkar claimed that this is why Sushmita was overshadowed by Aishwarya in the question and answer round.
Tie-breaker question, which overturned
In the 1994 Miss India competition, the match between Sushmita and Aishwarya was so tough that the two scores were equal and the result was tied. Both were asked one question to choose the winner, and this was the whole game changed here.
Sushmita’s reply is said to have impressed the judges a lot. His answer was not only related to the culture of India, but also had a depth. This one answer made Sushmita the winner and Aishwarya Rai was the first runner-up.
However, that night, the crown may be decorated by Sushmita’s head, but later both of them illuminated the name of India on the international stage and proved that both of them were real winners.
