Sushmita fainted due to fatigue, applause rang after seeing her in pink saree and Taj
Ritu Kumar further wrote, ‘When she came to Delhi after the tour, I got a call to come to Taj Palace. Upon reaching, I came to know that the team had scheduled a shooting outside the Taj Mahal for the next day. But the clothes sent to her (Sushmita Sen) were shorts and T-shirt. They were too small and inappropriate to wear in front of the Taj Mahal. So, we opened the store at night itself, picked out the pink saree and got the blouse fitted. We also got some other important things done and within a few hours we were ready to shoot. The shooting was very tiring and poor Sushmita even fainted once. But the pictures came out amazing, making our hard work successful. Even today I remember that moment when the UP Police personnel were clapping with pride after seeing Sushmita Sen wearing a crown on her head and wearing a pink saree.
