Miss Windia

"Miss Windia" is how a London newspaper characterized Priyanka Chopra's victory as Miss World 2000. Indeed, since 1994, "Miss Windia" has won the Miss World crown four times and the Miss Universe crown two times.

The two woman who started India's incredible winning streak are Miss Universe 1994, Sushmita Sen and Miss World 1994, Aishwarya Rai. In the photo, Ash gives a congratulatory kiss to Sush upon Sush's homecoming - the newly crowned Miss Universe kissed by the future Miss World!

Thanks to our esteemed benefactor for sharing this photo with us.
