Its been two long years since we last saw Bollywood diva Sushmita Sen sizzle on screen. This of course, barring the passable international film Karma, Confessions and Holi, which the former beauty queen vehemently denied being associated with. Yes, its been long since I have seen me on screen too, she jokes. Having shed the extra weight shed had to gain for a movie role, the leggy beautys looking her usual svelte self. Sexy, sensuous, gorgeous, its all about whats up here, she says, pointing towards her head. But now shes ready to put her sexiest foot forward, as she readies to make up for her long absence with
two back-to-back films coming up and a string of flicks lined up next year as well.
Kick-starting with Do Knot Disturb, followed by Dulha Mil Gaya and later No Problem, Sush also seems to have finally found her forte — comedy. But point this out and she is quick to clarify, I dont want to be bound down by genres. But yes, I am really tired of consolation prizes and do want to sign up more commercial films. I am done with the experimenting phase, she says, reflecting on her choice of films post Main Hoon Na.
And though she doesnt regret her choices, she does admit that several have left a bitter taste. I gave up a lot of roles to do films that I thought would bring out the actress rather than the heroine in me, she says candidly. But today is different. Now I want to go in for the kill, at least thats the idea, she asserts the fighting spirit in her. Keen to repeat the success, she tasted with her early attempts at comedy, now she is looking forward to silencing her detractors once again.
Looking back at the past two years, Sush was kept busy by the constant speculation revolving around her personal life and professional. But she always maintained a dignified silence, whether it was talks about her weight gain — which she had incidentally gained to play the role of a hatti katti wife opposite Govinda in Do Knot... — or about her on and-off relationship with filmmaker Mudassar or even her ambitious project Rani Laxmi Bai and more recently reports of tension between her and good friend Shah Rukh Khan. I am very vocal, but not reactive. I dont believe in feeding rubbish stories. Sometimes being the silent puppy is the ultimate diva act, she says, dismissing the apparent fight with SRK as a rumour.
However, talk about her pet project Rani Laxmi Bai and she reveals that shes happy at the moment to watch the historical character being revived on television. The project is on hold and will remain so till I dont get to make it my way. And about her film based on the life of late Benazir Bhutto? Well that has to be cleared by the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). Its a very controversial film so the moment we get a clearance, the project will be on, she confirms.
Till then shes happy with the films on her platter and a gorgeous daughter to keep her busy back home. Oh, shes a very sharp girl. In fact, I learn a lot from her each day, says the proud mamma. But between the momdaughter duo does the father talk ever crop up. Renee would surely like to have a father, but she doesnt miss one yet. Often I tease her about getting her married off, and shes quick to retort, Not before you get married first, so yes, thatll happen sometime too. We will definitely get a dad for Renee. But who and when? Well, thats not something I am revealing yet, she smiles.

She has such a great personality. She should have her own talk show.
