It was an exotic Greek holiday that went horribly wrong. Little did Sushmita Sen know what awaited her when she returned from her vacation at the beautiful island of Santorini. TOI has learnt that a few days ago, the beauty queen-turned-actress was robbed in broad daylight at the Athens airport, and left with nothing on her person except the jeans and t-shirt she wore.

This is how it happened. It was around 1.05 pm Greek time when the ex-Miss Universe arrived at the Athens airport. She was booked on a flight to Dubai, where she would board a connecting flight to Mumbai. She had arrived about four hours early. She was waiting outside an eatery, her hand on her trolley, when she turned to speak to the man sitting behind her. It was at this point, she was robbed and believe it or not, all it took was eight to ten seconds flat. (Pic: Viral Bhayani)

Reliving the horror of that moment, Sushmita told TOI, "I was in a state of shock. For a while, I just didn't know what to do. Finally, I regained my composure and called my office, telling them to call my friend Farah Khan Ali. I remembered she had friends in Greece. And what a true friend she is. She went all out to help me." (Pic: Viral Bhayani)

"Farah called up a friend in Athens, who arranged a good lawyer, who rushed to the airport. It was only after the police complaint was registered that I was given my passport, that too on paper, so I could travel back to India. The Indian Consulate was also very helpful," said Sushmita.

It was her office that wired all the money Sushmita needed to pay off her hotel, conveyance and other bills for the remaining part of her stay. A friend of the actress said, "She lost her mobile phone, iPad and credit cards too. These were in her handbag, which was kept in the trolley."
