We are from middle class family and we know our limits. My mother said- they are not going to see your clothes, they are going to see you. We went to Sarojini Nagar Market and bought clothes from there. We used to sit in a garage with a gown stitcher. We gave them the cloth and said it has to come on TV, it should be stitched. He stitched my winning gown and mad a rose flower with the remaining cloth.
Sushmita further said- We bought new socks for gloves and put elastic in it. The day I won the Miss India title wearing that gown was a big day for me. I realised that money is not needed to get what you want. Your intention should be clear.
