In the caption, she wrote, "This picture is exactly 29 years old, shot by the epic man & photographer #prabuddhadasgupta.

Speaking about the experience, Sushmita Sen said, "The privilege of representing & winning for my Motherland is an honour so profound, it brings me to tears of joy even today...29 years later.
