"Thank you guys for the letters, cards and gifts but mostly for remembering the universe is lovingly abundant and so what we give out, we get more of. I celebrate with you India and Philippines (my second home)," she added.

After completing her reign as Miss Universe, Sushmita began receiving various offers to act in films. She started her career with the Hindi film Dastak in 1996.

Since then, Sushmita has worked in films like Aankhen, Main Hoon Na, Zindaggi Rocks and No Problem.
