Expressing her feelings, she wrote in a lengthy post, “This picture is exactly 29 years old, shot by the epic man & photographer #prabuddhadasgupta. He skillfully captured an 18-year-old me in the rawness of this image. ‘You realize you’re the first Miss Universe I’ve ever filmed’, he remarked with a smile. It’s India’s first Miss Universe, I proclaimed with pride.
Even now, 29 years later, the honor of competing for and winning for my motherland makes me cry with happiness. I am proud to remember and celebrate this day because it was the first time India ever won Miss Universe on May 21, 1994, in Manila, Philippines (Mahal Kita). #missuniverse1994 #happy29thanniversary #INDIA #yourstruly I’m grateful for everyone’s kindness, love, and most lovely messages.
