Recalling her visit to Nepal last year, former Miss Universe and Bollywood actress Sushmita Sen on April 29 said that the earthquake that devastated in the country has made her "speechless".
A 7.9-magnitude quake rocked Nepal on April, killing over 5,000 people.
"In November 2014, I was in Kathmandu for a very special event. I am a follower of goddess Durga and lord Shiva, and I had gone to the Pashupatinath temple for the first time," she told the media. (Also Read:
