That line - "When Venezuela walked away and just Colombia and I stood together. That memory of me winning it and her hands going up in the air as if she had won taught me tremendous grace. Someone like me needed the crown to know that grace. Colombia already had. She didn't need it" - is pure gold.

[aaaaaaaa]

Sushmita what a true line- " whether you are married or not, most children grow up with a single parent"
I am editing it here just to clarify that my interpretation of Sushmita's statement is that mostly it is one parent that a child has considerably higher reliability on. That one parent that has a greater positive dominance in a child's life. It could be due to multiple reasons.

"Someone like me needed the crown to learn grace, she didnt need it, she had it" only Sushmita Sen, the one and only

No one can ever speak like her... when she speaks - the Universe listens.

It almost looks like she imbues life into conversations. She speaks like a monk, looks like a goddess, acts like an enigma and most importantly is a beautiful human. Loved this interview.

[shalmalishweta]

Interviews with Sushmita Sen are not just talk shows. They are lessons for life. Twinkle has an amazing sense of wit too! Love these ladies.

[tuarani]

Sushmita Sen is the best and most intelligent person in thr Hindi film industry, you can keep hearing her speak... Its Shes so in control of everything

[Tita_jackie]

I loved this interview. The host knows how to listen to her guest. The set was very relaxed, candid. I have never seen anyone casually and gracefully eat during an interview. Sushmita gives out answers like life quotes. A true Miss Universe.

Sushmita Sen is a Goddess. The way she talks..its like listening to a River. So elegant, so eloquent, so deep.. amazing!

[evnatbhuiyan]

The voice, the accent, the expressions, the vocabs, the smiles, the halts in words and sentences-
Soothing Sush.

[swarupae]

Have you all ever noticed? Sush's interviews are the only ones that are 100% filled with comments of admiration and awe?! Such is a the aura of Sush! She is THE ONLY Ms. Universe in true sense of the word.

Gosh, sushimita sen’s story about mothers instinct taking her daughter to the hospital was incredible. Moved me to tears - this is such an amazing interview thank you so much

Sushmita is literally the epitome of grace. She comes across highly intelligent, humble and warm.

[srijaniroychowdhury]

when she said, "someone like me needed the crown to know that grace but she didn't need it, she had it". I really love how calm and well-spoken Sushmita is and she is always clapping for her fellow women. This is truly graceful, she deserved the crown and OH MY GOD! Twinkle is so witty and intelligent. I really loved the mature conversation these two beautiful ladies had. This is so inspiring for girls like us. ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

Sushmita should have a podcast of her own.I feel like to keep listening to her forever.A great inspirational woman.More power to woman like her.❤

I can watch this interview on a loop and still learn something new each time I watch Susmita Sen speak. What grace !

[vinayak]

3 most important things we learned out of this interview :-

1. Most Indian women don’t know how to take compliment.(twinkle 🤪)

2. Most children are raised by single parent(whether ur married or unmarried) 👏🏻

3. Laugh a lot there are always fillers.😅

How can someone be so sarcastically candid and smart to steal all the attention from host!!
At times she sounds like rock, super strong!! Next second she behave childish and the third second she say something so deep that touch your heart and soul all together.. well that’s the essence of being a gracious woman!!
We love you sush to the eternity ❤️

“Don’t be afraid to grow old, but just remember to live your life 💜 ”- Sushmita sen

[snehagupta]

I loved her speaking so elegantly and eloquently… No fake accent .. No show off.. Just being herself.. Pure class.. ❤️

[keleltu]

Wow. What an interview! Not even a single dull moment where I had to skip and move forward, instead I had to rewind it and rewatch some clips because of how powerful and relatable their conversations were. Didn’t want it to end. Felt like the shortest 40 minutes interview. More power and love to both of them. 💓💓
