Meanwhile, actress and former beauty queen Urvashi Rautela was one of the judges for Miss Universe India for the fourth consecutive time. The evening became even more special for Urvashi as she got to share it with Sushmita, someone who has played a crucial role in Urvashi’s journey.

She recalled that Sushmita was the one who gave her the wings and confidence to fly. Talking about sharing the moment with her “Guru” Sushmita, Urvashi said, “Sharing this moment with my first mentor, my guru, and our first-ever Miss Universe, Sushmita, makes it infinitely more special. She was the woman who gave me the wings to fly; when she personally crowned me on my coronation night, which is the rarest thing as she never does it, it became one of the most surreal and cherished moments of my life.”

Urvashi further opened up about how deeply the faith shown towards her by Sushmita has stayed with her over years. Expressing her gratitude towards the former Miss Universe, Urvashi added, “I still wonder why she chose to believe in me, but perhaps some blessings are not meant to be explained, only cherished. I feel blessed beyond measure to God, my parents, my family, my fans, my loved ones, and especially my guru Sushmita.”
