Former beauty queen, Sushmita Sen celebrates her birthday on November 19. The year was 1994 when she brought home the glory of Miss Universe.

It was in 1996 when she marked her filmy debut with Dastak and that was just the beginning for this Bengali babe. What came next was her stardom and the inspiring journey that we have witnessed so far. Sushmita Sen Birthday: Being Elegant All Day, Every Day is the Style Mantra She Swears By (View Pics).
