Actor Sushmita Sen’s return to acting with a web series has been garnering much appreciation. Interestingly, while she was looking for the right kind of project to make a comeback in the industry, Sushmita Sen's declined quite a few offers that came her way before Aarya.
Sushmita says, “We’re in a business with humungous egos and that’s not a secret. Each time you say no then that’s a problem, you’re a problem, it might mean you don’t want to work.”
However, Sushmita never pondered upon what people think of her. The 44 year old said, “For me it’s always been about being honest and responsible about the work I take up. Good, bad or ugly -- I chose this, so I’m responsible. So those offers that came to me sometimes weren’t good enough, sometime it would be like we’re doing you a favour by keeping you in the industry. That doesn’t work with me.”
The former Miss Universe has lived life and career on her own terms. She follows a similar stance on social media, too. When many have been voicing against how toxic it has become, Sen explains her stand.
“When people look at a person and find that person same for 26 years, it does matter. No amount of social media marketing can change that because more than a generation has seen you being consistently you. It takes a lot of brickbats, appreciation, ignorance, learning and everything culminates into the person who’ll be remembered,” she says.
