Talking about a picture fearing herself along with Aishwarya, Sen shared, “Aishwarya has been not just the pin-up poster of beauty. At a time in the 90s, when I entered the modelling scene, she was ‘it.' Like, she was Sanju of the commercial in Pepsi. And she was this face, was that, was so… She is Indian like most people would go… And then they tell me that she is competing in the same competition and I thought – ‘Agle saal chalenge ya to uske baad chalenge. Is saal to chance hi nahin hai. [Let's go next year or maybe after that. There is no chance of winning this year.] Because my idea of what was ethereal was this beautiful woman.”

 

Recalling their respective journeys, Sen reminisced, “And then life brought us together and took us to two different competitions. This picture is taken after we both won for India and came back for the homecoming. This is me as the reigning Miss Universe and the reigning Miss World is Aishwarya. And what a big year for India. It was such a huge feeling that any international definition of beauty had India's name on it.”

 

As Aarya Season 3 - Antim Vaar (part 2) hits screens, fans anticipate another compelling performance from the talented actress.
