Revealing details about the same Sushmita Sen claimed that she surprisingly told her mother to not attend the Miss India beauty pageant. “I told my mom not to come for the finals. Why? Because she (Aishwariya Rai) had won everything. All prelim awards, best body most photogenic glamour stuff. I thought this is a bad idea. And mom's like what happened? I've come now, and she's come from Delhi to Bombay. And she's at choti masi’s house and she's going to take another train to come. I have stopped her in Bombay.”

Reason why she did not want her mother to attend the Miss India finals Sushmita continues, “I told her, if you will be sitting in the audience and I don’t win, I will feel very sad. So then she didn't come to keep my heart and I won. And I won. And everyone's families are there. And I'm just like, my mother is going to kill me. She's going to kill me.” Later revealing how her mother responded Sen adds, “She almost did kill me. She was at Bombay airport when I landed like this (imitates a serious hands-on-hips pose).”
