Sushmita Sen celebrates 28 years of being crowned as Miss Universe; ex-Rohman Shawl joins celebrations

Sushmita Sen will always be the top role model for millennials. Sen made history by becoming India's first Miss Universe in 1994, but she is also a role model for being a single mother who established her own career path. Sushmita will always be the coolest person in the universe, whether it’s in her personal life or her professional decisions.

On Sunday, the actress commemorated 28 years since she was crowned Miss Universe. Renee Sen, her daughter, planned a surprise party for her, which also included Sen’s ex-boyfriend, model Rohman Shawl. Her niece Ziana Sen, Sushmita’s brother Rajeev Sen, and sister-in-law were also in attendance. 

Sharing a picture of the celebrations on her Instagram handle, the Main Hoon Na (2004) actress wrote, “Thank you Shona @reneesen47 for this wonderful surprise & the memorable evening!!! In the company of love, laughter, family & friends…it couldn’t have been better!!!#cherished I love you, #Maa #duggadugga.”
