After this revelation, Sushmita shared that Rajat Tara was her first boyfriend. She tagged him as an ‘important man’ in his life, and reminisced about the time when she had to shift to Mumbai to train for Miss Universe. She credited Rajat for being there for her in Mumbai while she was training for the pageant. She said:
