Here is an interview of actress Sushmita Sen who has been in the news for all the wrong reasons!
How has life been treating you?
Fabulously! I’m 31, and rocking. And though at times I do explore other options, I wouldn’t have my life any other way. 2006 has been personally tough. But I’m an eternal optimist.I say, ‘All right God, you’ve chosen me for this tough test. But please don’t make it into a habit’. I’m His favorite child. I wish the same for everyone.
Was 2006 your toughest year?
That would be hard to say.. I’ve faced all the hardships in my life as and when they’ve hit me. Whether it was the sudden spurt of success as Miss Universe at 18; or the battle in courts to adopt my daughter Renee; or my relationships, failed or successful, they’ve all been full of turmoil when it happened.At 31, I realise nothing has been that bad because at 45 I’ll feel
everything has been pretty much worth the while.
There’s an insatiable appetite to know more about your current man Manav. Why are you for once so secretive about your relationship?
As you get acclimatised to the media, you adopt a less bindaas approach to the limelight. Right now I feel, this is my life and I don’t need to justify myself.As you mature, you realise relationships aren’t just about one person. The privacy of the other party in a relationship does matter. I may not be secretive about the relationship. The other person is. That’s it.
is this relationship more serious, therefore more private?
No the secrecy, as you call it, is purely because the person has asked me not to talk about it. I’d rather choose what my heart tells me to. I’ve a tremendously strong conscience. I’d never do something that makes me uncomfortable.
