It takes even the most courageous men to accept their shortcomings. I was taken by surprise when former Miss Universe, Sushmita Sen publicly admitted that she was an underconfident kid until the age of 16 and still has her complexes. In an interview with Vir Sanghavi on Star Talk she said that she went to a hindi medium school all her life and could not speak English till 10th grade. She was a skinny, unkempt, a frail looking and an undernourished girl who was scared to look at herslf in the mirror. She was a silent back bencher in school and was scared to raise her hand to answer a question or ask a doubt. In short, she recalls herself being an average girl both academically and socially. There are so many students in small towns of India who have similar complexes about their appearances and communicative abilities. Such students should consider Sushmita Sen as a role model who has made a significant mark for herself on the face of this planet. The entire universe had to bow down infront of her determination and will power. So if she can..anyone can !

Thats something new !! Well, but you see the physical,mental attributes apart, she would accept that she always had that psychological upper hand of being the one with I-am-what-I-am attitude.Wouldn't she?
