This leggy lass from Delhi came into limelight when she was crowned the Miss Universe tiara in 1994. And no sooner than her contract as Miss Universe was over she had decided to give a shot to Bollywood.
Sushmita made her debut in “Dastak” in the role of a vulnerable girl being stalked by a psycho (Sharad Kapoor). The film was a dud at the box office. Soon another flop (“Zor”) followed. Things were not going right for Sush.
Then Sushmita did a comic role in David Dhawan’s “Biwi No.1” and caught movie buff’s attention. She had a flair for the comedy. She also did a romantic role opposite Abhishek Bachchan in “Bus Itna Sa Khwab Hai”. Unfortunately this movie too bombed at the box office.
Recently she was seen in a very realistic role in Meghna Gulzar’s directorial debut “Filhaal”. She has got very rave reviews for convincing portrayal of her character in the film.
