I am not Indian, but I definitely think Lara Dutta and Sushmita Sen are the most intelligent Miss Universes to date. Their answers to their questions are deep and full of substance. Not fluffy "world-peace-esque" type answers that all sound the same.
@@jopromise4191 Catriona is stunning. But her answer is very pagenty (and a bit cheesy). Don't get me wrong, I love Catriona. She truly set the bar high for a miss U candidate. BUT there is depth in wisdom in Sushmita's and Lara's anwers and they deserve a league of their own. And it's something that not much succeeding Miss Universe winners have.
Mee Koh . Dont also get me wrong Sir/Ma’am. But I think Catriona is one of the most eleqoent and with a substance when relaying her thoughts. I understand your opinion but my point is any questions are a piece of cake to her. It’s just that these legends got the oppurtunity to answer these relevant n impactful questions.
she was the highest scoring contestant in terms of answers in the history of all miss universe pageants...but it looked like cakewalk for her. she's so well spoken!
Honestly there is no one in the history of Miss Universe or World who displayed such perfection! Elegance, calmness, intelligence, confidence of that level!!! Lara you are an example!!
I'm a Filipino, but no one can ever question how she won the competition!!!! Such intelligent and strong woman you are!!!! Love you Ms. Universe 2000 from India.
Lara is a quintessential queen. Beautiful face, curvaceous body, undeniable stage presence, elegant and a tone of voice to make your heart melt. I am always blown away by her. She is the Oxford definition of a Miss Universe.
Catriona gray appeared totally prepared and confident But i think why lara was so remarkable is because it appeared she is her natural self and hasnt gone through peagent grooming. Her calmness and confidence made it appear that her life didnt revolve around this peagent. It appeared so genuine and real
Lara was 21 when she won Miss Universe in 2000. Lara also won Miss Intercontinental in 1997. So, she was from this field. But Sush was 18 and just out of school when she won Miss Universe in 1994. Also, if you see the content of the answers, Sush has got more logic in hers. Lara's answers are good but not very close to reality. She's giving answers that sound good. Sush's answers come straight from the heart. Lara's answers come from her mind. She knows how to handle the mic and what to say to conquer the challange. Sushmita, however, answers whatever is genuine to her regardless what impresses whom. She gave real answers as if she's not competeing for Miss Universe. However, Lara's got great calmness & confidence. I love Lara's accent.
Put Lara in any of the years Miss Universe pageants, she would certainly win first rate... Just saw some of her interviews and she is unbelievable.. First rate sharp, sensible and intelligent...
I can't get enough of this. 20 years later I still feel nobody can beat India's Lara Dutta. The way she speaks, her intelligence, her elegance..and that final high score..nobody can beat it. 20 years and counting..that score remains unbeaten..
@@fauzandwi9525 exactly i am from india but i loved zozi..her speaking skil is shoulder to shoulder with lara......her score also would be same like lara.

Sushmita Sen, Lara Dutta and Manpreet Brar are the three most intelligent Miss Universe contestants from India. If not top 3 of all time. I love when Manpreet was asked in MU 1995 "If you find yourself in a situation where you were being discriminated against because of race, what would you do?" Manpreet uttered words of brilliance, "There is a saying that goes, 'If your back is bent only then will somebody climb on it,' so stand up straight and nobody will ever climb on your back, that's all." Needless to say about the other two former winners. They are just brilliant
Yes, Manpreet was robbed of the crown! may be the organization was reluctant to crown two Indians MU back to back. Manpreet was the rightful winner, but they had to declare USA the winner. Manpreet was smarter than Sush, but luck wasn't on her side that day! (i am saying this because all her answers were elegant and she carried herself perfectly, while Sush gave great answers too, but she stammered a couple of times, which again did not deter her from winning).
Manpreet's answers were fabulous. If it was not 1995, she would have won it. Back to back crown especially to India is not digestible for all. If her physical beauty is little more higher, that would be a definite crown MU1995 (
Actually according to Wikipedia, "her finalist interview score was the highest individual score in any category in the history of the Miss Universe contest, as her interview saw a majority of the judges giving her the maximum 9.99 mark"
ohh yeah she is very articulated & confident. ... you know India won Miss universe , miss world & miss Asia Pacific 2000 ... it was a win win year ... Also Mus universe & miss world both were won by muss India in 1994 ... thankyou so much for the praises . Not because of ur comment , I genuinely like Pia Alonzo wurtzbach & miss world 2013 both pino beauties and also seem very honest to me . I heard tagalog for the first time in Pia's interview with Vice and I got fascinated. Mabuhaay 🙌 ... Sushmita Sen won Miss universe 1994 in Manilla 💖 more power to you ... thanks for the comment ... ☺☺
keilennhxjxjxiksbucbos tagala I know sushmita won Miss Universe in Manila and all filipinos love her till date . I can't thank you all enough . Thankyou Philippines 💜 . And by the way I love "hanap hanap" by Jadine & i lkke Pia Alonzo ☺. Mabuhaay
I am not Indian..but i think India produced one of those best miss universes in entire history of miss universe.. Both lara and susmita will always be top of the list.
Important things are she is from a Air Force background and naturally the kids are grown in a very positive environment and they develop a very good communication skill . In the Air Force schools they indulge every student to choose their extra curricular activities like sports music and dance . Second thing she is very graceful calm and composed is because of her bharathnatyam . So put together she is the best universe till date
Sush was great but Lara exceeded here in every department! What a sharp and b'ful MU! And those answers that she gave and the way she carried here eve gown was totally outstanding and no other MU can even come close! Loved here interview and she certainly can handle pressure. Sad that her potential was not recognized in B'wood.
Bollywood is overrated and would have ruined her. Not everyone has to end up doing Bollywood movies. She is better thn bollywood, just saying. And yeah I am watching this video in 2020. 😁😁😁😁

From Philippines here, but how did India go from this to Urvashi? 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ LOL kidding aside, some of the classiest and most intelligent women to ever grace the stage of Miss Universe were Indians. Lara Dutta is definitely a prime example.
I am an Indian & I am disappointed with Miss India. She never deserved to represent India at MU. She looks good but she's dumb & shallow, constantly trying to "act" & turn herself into some Diva which she's not. She was told the very same thing by Lara in India during her preparations but she didn't pay heed. India is busy bootlicking western culture & feel ashamed on their own culture, Hinduism now. So, they're sending nonsense contestants without substance or integrity.
I am an Indian and I can't agree more... These were sum classy women,even if they didn't win d titles at the international levels, the Miss India winners used to hv certain class n integrity.Don't know wat happened now!
She is the best delegate ever from India.Sushmita sen might be an icon but honestly Lara dutta is by far the supreme of all the pageant title holders in India. And she is currently still the HIGHEST ever in the competition history, she has 9.99. An almost perfect score.
We Indians are proud to have Lara Dutta as Miss Universe 2000 . Her poise and command over the language is supreme over all Miss Universe's since 2000. I truly wish to see India get the crown back in the future .
to be honest I found miss universe 2000 Lara Dutta is way more awesome than miss world 1994 Aishwarya Rai and miss universe 1994 Sushmita Sen..but I love Sushmita Sen too..😘😘😘
Aishwarya has a better work ethic and a universal beauty that appeals to both east & west. Lara’s beauty is more western. Aishwarya was most intelligent and talented of all, and has a deeply eastern ethos and spirituality, that is why she succeeded most in both professional and personal life. She was unique and stood out in India with her green eyes. Lara, Priyanka and Sushmita were similar to each other.
Lara Dutta is really underrated actress but she's proved her in this contest that she is deserves more than this industry ...lots of love to Lara Dutta mam....❤️
She is really gorgeous and the richness of the tone of her voice can make anyone twitterpated. I want Indian beauty on top of the world again just like her.♥️👸😍
Lara is the best miss universe till date. She is an epitome of beauty, grace, intelligence . She is a substantial women. Her walk, her answer , her attitude . It was a cakewalk for her. Just saying, Miss India was far more competitive than miss universe. nevertheless all the winners won international pageants. priyanka won miss world, Diya won miss asia pacific & lara won miss universe. #funfact - Lara dutta never lost any pageant in her pageant career. She won Gladrags mega model 1997, Miss Intercontinental 1997. Miss India 2000 & finally Miss Universe 2000. Another fun fact , Initially lara was about to paticipate in 1999, but she was wanted to win in 2000 & become the miss universe of the millenium , therefore she participated in 2000.
One of my favorite's top 2 in all MU history, but Lara was the undisputed winner, one of the best MU ever 👏🏻👏🏻 and I'm from Venezuela but India was the powerhouse in 2000.
She's so charming, poised, elegant, extremely intelligent, highly-composed and definitely exotically gorgeous. Her answer could sweep all the coveted title she had entered into. Her mental faculty was unbelievably peerless, going through the unlimited sky! I could not stop smiling while listening her incredible answers. Such a joy and appreciation to one of the smartest beauty, Lara Dutta. Salute! 🙏🙏🙏👍💃👏☝ PS: her vocal tone was so enchanted. It captivated you till the end.
She is beyond beautiful. Sushmita Sen and Lara Dutta are my favorite Miss Universe queens to date! So gorgeous, elegant, poise, and intelligent. She is the definitely the epitome of beauty and brains! 💖
Lara Dutta, is soooo beautiful, elegant , and her accent is very very very real , not fake like others who changed later winning Pageant .... She is absolutely stunning , beautiful ,hope she would have won even in 2014 year if she attended MISS UNIVERSE ....
"If she was running for office I'd vote for her... I'd believe everything she'd say!" hahahha so true! She's so calm and collected. Also study shows that women with deeper voices tend to be more respected so I guess that's true here 😂😂
I'm here after Harnaaz sandhu is crowned our next Miss Universe 2021. Lara Dutta you made us proud then and you left a mark with us for 21 yrs. And now truly proud of Harnaaz... Not to forget our very first Miss Universe. Sushmita Sen, where it all started....
She's so classy, elegant, and sophisticated in every move she make. I just can't believe how calm she is everytime she answers those questions. A real beauty and brains.
"Pataka, Tri Pataka and that's Padmah" You need sheer elegance and calmness to answer a question like that! Lara, your intelligence overshadowed every other aspect of MU. I wud have personally killed Harvey (if at all he anchored this paegent) if he'd messed the results!!! LOL
I love Lara here ... she deserved it ... But please ... get over the anchor... it is fine to mistake. .. be more forgiving ... it was a hard time for the anchor too ...
It isn't about the language ... CHange your view for the anchor ! He did a big mistake and he has already had enough for it from many people ! And , it was undeliberately done ! Too err is human ! It was a hard time for Miss colombia , Miss USA , Miss phillipines And for Harvey as well ... Be merciful , forgiving .... :) #happylife
+Noorul Wasima I know it was a troll & I can't relax on that anymore. It is insensitive . People have bitched a lot about him for doing an undeliberate mistake & after he apologised ... We just need to act matured & learn to let go & some tolerance...
We are so happy wayback 2000 when she won she is so very wise her answer on top 3 q and a kick the ass s of miss u critics we love her so much as much as we love miss u 1994 sushmita sen Love from philippines
Apart from all the scoring and topping on intelligence..I think she is probably the only contestant from India who has ever topped the Swim wear contest ..which is indeed a very big feat.
+miss Kirti Mishra She's really very pretyy ...Congratulations! But now your country's gov't officials are killing people who eat beef! They wake them up from their sleep and beat them to death! How do you react to that world news?
+Katherine W where did that come from ? if you are trying to shake in me the bad side of India then know that I know even worse plus no country is perfect. well it is insensitive to kill anyone out of sleep like that ... but so is eating flesh. I think non vegetarians are insensitive to animals. they might make some pets and kill such animals for the sake of their taste buds. anyway India has a large non vegetarian population too ... And law doesn't mind it. but religiously we worship cows , snakes ... it is good at times to live with certain boundations ... that's what society is ! you vave some obligations ...
Obviously Miss Lara Dutta was the best in this competition, her personality and her confidence when she speaks clearly in her questions wow!! I'm very happy and I congrats to her from Mexico.
Lara Dutta is amazing , when India was the asian powerhouse of beauty pageants was better . Now is Philippines , that's nice , but an good percent of Filipinos fans are too uneducated i feel so stressed when i see them doing bad comments . Why this behavior ?. Fight for beauty pageant , something who wants show the World Union , it is so stupid . I never see an fan from my country (Brazil) with this kind of behavior . Guys please the world have millions of trouble . We need more peace .
seriously, I agree with you.They even abused Miss India on her facebook page and Miss vietnam too last year. Their attitude is going to the stray dogs.
+Abhishek Tanwar I feel so angry with them , it is very unnecessary they even attacked Marthina Brandt Miss Brazil last year . She never did anything with them . My question for them is . An Crown in an Beauty Pageant will solve some problem of your country ? . I'm sure the answer is No .
Gabriel Ribeiro Yeah, and when I defended Miss India then they racially abused me and thereby showing how cheap they can be. Actually, after interaction with fillipinos and people from other asian countries, I have realised that fillipinos are very pro western people. They take pride in being with western people (including you as well) . They are so blinded by pageants and think this is some sort of great achievement. Well, I as an Indian think any achievement of India would be anything related to the benefit of common man like eradicating poverty just like brazil is a role model for India to be honest. We Indians take pride for doing great in science and space programmes despite of having limited resources.But fillipinos need to get their priorities right.
+Abhishek Tanwar As an Brazilian , i'm sure the model of eradicating poverty from my country is not true at all , the former government considered only people who lived with less than 70 reais (US$20) per month as extreme poverty . For me it's an joke . Brazil is an very corrupt nation and have an high cost of living , here in Rio is more high than most of american cities . So what the media say about us in this aspect is not true . About these Filipinos , i have observed that they prefer send Half White - Half Filipina girls than pure Filipina girls . I also observe that in the Miss Universe pageant crowd they sat only with white people . This kind of behavior is too inexplicable . I remember i was read their comments on Urvashi instagram account and they accused her of feels Latina because she posted an video with some Latinas contestants and also she cried with Ariadna Gutiérrez , as i know they were best friends . Pure hypocrisy .
Gabriel Ribeiro I agree with you. Well, see when I said brazil is a role model I really meant that I am very much aware of the conditions in India and Brazil. The minimum wage for very poor people inIndia is only 2 USD, so see how much better brazil really is. Every developing country faces same problems such a corruption. I know Brazil could have been better with good governance but wait you will get a good leader. We had a corrupted government for 10 years and now we have a good efficient government and things are going pretty well. However, have a nice day. :D
Ofcourse Lara Dutta !!!!!! Great miss universe : 1994 (champion of women’s and children’s rights) 2000 (very calm,smart, intelligence and head turner) and 2019 (great leadership and sooo beautiful ).
Her answer to the last question was perfect! For me, Brook Lee, Lara Dutta, Janine Tugonon, and Pia Wurtzbach had the best answers for the final question in Miss Universe.
