I LOVE MYSELF: Sushmita Sen
Aprolonged absence from the big screen, weighty issues, legal trouble and a pet project that’s been in the works for ages now – a mere actress, you’d imagine, would chew off all her manicured nails if she had all this to contend with. But then, no one ever said that the sen-suous Sushmita Sen was ever just an actress. Sush was, more than ever, strongly evocative of the ‘diva’ tag that’s been applied to her when she came to the city recently.
Dressed in a LBD, shooting a sultry number with Govinda for the David Dhawan-directed Do Knot Disturb, Sush is, as she put it, “too happy”. “I don’t know how to react to half of the things people say,” she says nonchalantly, when asked about her weight. “I’m very comfortable in my own skin. Fat, thin, beautiful or ugly – I’m happy being who I am. And what my weight is or how big I look is not anyone’s business, only mine, and I’m just too happy with it!”
And what about her production, Rani Laxmi Bai… hasn’t it been rolling for quite some time now? “Yes, it has been rolling for a while now and we are taking our own sweet time to ensure that everything is where we want it. The prep work has started and the script is ready. The shooting will start sometime next year,” she says. Now that she’s admitted that they’ve been taking their ‘own sweet time’, would she also say why exactly has the film been delayed? “To begin with, my research took a year-and-a-half and the film has been talked about since then. But when you make a film on a character like Rani Laxmi Bai, you don’t want to take chances. The first draft of the script was ready six months later and we have the fourth draft today. I’m sort of happy with it. But I’ll take as long as it takes to make this film because it is not about just churning out a film. It is about making history,” she says.
