The nation's pride was entitled to the crown at the age of 18. Years later she made her Bollywood debut with 'Dastak'.
Fans and well-wishers showered Sushmita with congratulatory messages and best wishes.
Her rumoured beau Rohman Shawl captured moments of her surprise and dedicated her a song.

Talking about her journey as a star and mother, Sushmita had earlier told IANS: "It has its own difficulties to fight for who you are. It's not an easy job, but you keep doing it for 25 years and it becomes a habit. And you are just accepted after that."
