Former Miss Universe and Bollywood actress Sushmita Sen will now judge the upcoming 65th edition of Miss Universe pageant to be held in Manila. The event is special for her as she won the crown in the same city in 1994.
The event will take place on January 30.
"Getting ready with a dancing heart! I am so excited, emotional and looking forward to returning home to the Philippines after 23 years," Sushmita tweeted alongside a photograph of herself from the make-up room.
She added: "It's where it all began Manila 1994, Miss Universe 1994. Life comes a full circle, from winning Miss Universe, to having owned its Indian franchise to now. Returning back to Manila this time as a judge at the 65th Miss Universe pageant!
"To all my Filipino friends who have been graciously asking. I can now confirm... Yes, I am coming!"
The event will take place at the Mall of Asia Arena, Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines. Roshmitha Harimurthy will represent India at the contest.
