It’s back to work for Sushmita Sen. The actor walked the ramp at Lakme Fashion Week days after suffering a massive heart attack. Sushmita Sen, 47, turned showstopper for designer Anushree Reddy at the ongoing fashion week in Mumbai.
In a short interview posted on the official Instagram handle of Lakme Fashion Week, Sen said the moment felt “almost like a rebirth on the ramp after all the excitement my life has held in the recent past” – likely referring to the health scare which had millions praying for her. This marks her first public appearance since her heart attack.
Sushmita Sen revealed on March 2 that she had suffered a heart attack and undergone an angioplasty in which a stent was inserted. In later videos, she revealed that the heart attack was “very, very big” and she had 95% blockage in her main artery. She had also promised her fans that would return to work soon and resume filming for season three of Aarya.
Sushmita Sen donned a chartreuse lehenga from Anushree Reddy Designs for her comeback on the ramp. She gave a shout-out to the designer, who belongs to Hyderabad, the city where Sen herself was born.
“It is lovely to be here and to wear one of her designs. And I personally think that the colour that she put me in is outstanding. I should wear it more often” said Sen.
Sushmita Sen started her career as a model before winning the Miss Universe beauty pageant which propelled her to international fame. Videos shared on her Instagram Stories show that she walked the ramp with “unmatched grace” – as one viewer put it – holding a bouquet of flowers that she handed over to an audience member.
