Sushmita removed the language barrier for 1,800 applicants in I AM SHE 2011 contest!



Sushmita Sen, mentor of 'I AM SHE 2011' contest was all grins and smiles as she freshly declared the three finalist winners of the pageant. Happy away, Sen pointed out a significant difference in the manner in which her contestants were specially selected.

"I removed the language barrier," tweeted Sen at the Press event. "In usual beauty contests, it is mandatory for the contestants to know English. But I felt that it would make for more opportunities, if we did away with it. I received about 1,800 applications from all over, including small cities and towns too. Earlier, most of these girls did not take part because of the condition that they would have to speak in English. They had in them, but it was the language that was keeping them away, but now this was not the case."

Lauding the spirit of today's youngsters and their dynamism Sushmita told, "Today's generation is wonderful and something else altogether, I salute them completely."
