In an interview in Manila, much to her surprise, Sushmita met four other girls, who were born in Philippines, the same year she won Miss Universe.



"We would like to introduce to you the girls who were born in 1994, the year you won, and they were all named after you,” the interviewer said.

Then she went on to explain the meaning of the name to the four girls. “Do you know what Sushmita means? A beautiful smile. And guess what, they all have it!,” she said.
