Sushmita Sen shares her experiences with Donald Trump at Miss Universe: 'It wasn't enjoyable or effortless'
Sushmita Sen, the Bollywood actress and former Miss Universe, recently shared insights about her time working under Donald Trump's Miss Universe Organization.
From 2010 to 2012, Sen was the owner of the Indian chapter of Miss Universe. During this period, Trump was the owner of the Miss Universe Organization. Despite the prestige of the role, Sen described her experience as "not easy or fun," partly due to the intense contractual obligations she signed[1][2][3].
Sen clarified that Trump was not her direct employer, as she reported to Paramount Communications and Madison Square Garden, which controlled Miss Universe during her tenure[1][3]. She met Trump on several occasions due to her role as a franchise owner but expressed a negative impression of him, stating that he did not leave a favorable impression on her[1][4].
Sen's statements provide a behind-the-scenes look at the Miss Universe pageant, offering a unique perspective on Trump's leadership style during his ownership. Reflecting on her time as the Miss Universe franchise owner in India, Sen expressed that working under his organization was challenging and not enjoyable[1][4].
In a recent interview promoting her television series Aaarya, Sen made these revelations, advocating for turning intentions into action, saying that intention is a powerful tool[5][6]. Despite the challenges she faced, Sen's career continues to thrive, both in Bollywood and as a successful entrepreneur.
