What, me worry?

<div class="section1"><div class="Normal">It''s not often that one sees Sushmita Sen as a trademark Bollywood heroine, complete with chiffon sarees and dancing under a waterfall. This explains why the industry thinks she''s making a ''comeback'' with <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Main Hoon Na</span>. "People seem to say that about all my releases.That way, I make a comeback every six months," she laughs.<br /><br />Unlike her contemporaries, Sushmita''s had less than a handful of hits to show for the eight years she''s spent in the industry. And, in hits like <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Biwi No 1</span>, <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Aankhen</span> and <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Sirf Tum</span>, Sushmita was one among many stars. "I am hungry for different kinds of roles. I have been told time and again not to do certain films because ''it''s bad for your career''. If I had done 10 films like <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">Main Hoon Na</span>, no one would have noticed anything different in the 11th film."<br /><br />Her attempts at recreating herself and challenging her craft with every film has resulted in a career graph with more troughs than peaks. "If one is successful while being stuck in a rut, doing the same kind of roles people have loved, I don''t think that''s success. Ten years down the line, I want people to point to my generation of actresses and say, ''There were all these successful actresses and then, there was that crazy one.'' I want to be the crazy one." With an attitude like that, it''s surprising that the actress has survived for so long. "It hasn''t been easy and I don''t recommend this to everyone. I have survived only because my beliefs are strong enough to override Fridays and the perceptions and concepts that the industry works on."<br /><br />When it''s not work, Sushmita''s got her hands full with another baby in the house. "My sister''s adopted a girl. Renee (Sush''s adopted daughter) now has a baby sister, Aaliya, to play with. She is hyper possessive about Aaliya. At five, Renee''s become a grandmother and wants to change Aaliya''s diaper."</div> </div>
