Sushmita Sen's Answer at Miss Universe 1994

During the top 6 Interview Round at Miss Universe 1994, Sushmita was asked by the Grammy Award-winning singer-actress, Florence LaRue, "If you had the time and money to embark upon a great adventure, what would it be?” To which she replied, “Well I think adventure for me is what I enjoy from within me and children are little things that could bring a lot of adventure in your life. If I had the time and the money, I could do something, I wouldn’t say I would do something for the children who are downtrodden, any child is worth its while. I would do something for the children, go out with them and have a great time.”

She was asked in the final interview round, "What for you is the essence of being a woman?” To which she replied, "Just being a woman is a gift of God that all of us must appreciate. The origin of a child is a mother, who is a woman. She shows a man what caring, sharing, and loving is all about. That’s the essence of being a woman."
