Two beauties of Miss India 1994 brought glory to the country at the international level. One won the title of Miss World and the other won the title of Miss Universe, making the country proud. After this, both of them turned to Bollywood and still rule the hearts of the audience. We are talking about Aishwarya Rai and Sushmita Sen, both of whom participated in the Miss India competition together in 1994 and gave tough competition to each other. Sushmita Sen became the winner of this competition. But, do you know another actress who gave tough competition to these two beauties in the same year? We are talking about Shweta Menon, who is now ruling South cinema. The actress is known for filming real delivery for a Malayalam film.
Delivery shot for the film
Shweta Menon did something for her film ‘Kalimannu’, which hardly any actress would think of doing. For a scene in this film, Shweta got her delivery shot live, that too in front of three cameras. She got her delivery shot for about 45 minutes for the film, directed by Blessy. She gave birth to her daughter Sabina on camera. Shweta Menon was in the news for this move.

Shweta Menon started her career in 1990 itself. She worked in some films and then turned to modelling. After this, she participated in the Miss India contest in 1994, in which she faced beauties like Sushmita Sen and Aishwarya Rai. Shweta could not win this competition, but was successful in making her place in the top 5.
