Sushmita Sen has asked Lara Dutta to offer guidance to some of the women who could represent India in this year's Miss Universe competition, according to Mid Day.

The actress, who was the first Indian to win the contest in 1994, has reportedly enlisted fellow star Dutta, who won the competition in 2000, to spend time with some of the hopefuls and give them advice.

The two ladies apparently share a great bond.

It has also been the suggested that Sen is planning to approach other beauty queens Dia Mirza, a former model, and Miss World 2000 Priyanka Chopra.

Nothing has been announced about Aishwarya Rai, who was crowned Miss World in 1994, helping with the young contestants.
