Sushmita Sen

Life becomes easier when we stop aping people. Which is on all fronts, be it looks, body shape, or anything.

I have this very simple logic about life that it should not be taken too seriously.

Life comes as a full circle. It feels good when you become someone's idol.

The image is never created by you. It's created by the media, by the people around you. In my real-life self, I would be without make up and in jeans and a T-shirt. But when I'm outside, I'm dressed up. It's not because I enjoy doing it.

I love parasailing, taking strolls, indulging in water sports, hanging out in touristy places - especially night markets.

I believe unexplored territories and taking on new ventures is the natural progression all human beings must experience.

In 'Biwi No 1,' I made you laugh. In 'Sirf Tum,' I made you cry. In 'Bas Itna Sa Khwaab Hai,' I am going to make you dream.

The Indian television industry has catapulted into a huge business. Films, however, have not lost one shred of charisma or commercial lucrativity.

Comedy has always been my favourite genre, and I always wanted to be a part of a process which makes people happy. The genre has always been lucky for me.

I don't have any favourites, but I like situational comedies, not forced ones.

For a woman who didn't want to be an actress, who is too tall, lanky, shy, and who didn't fit into a Hindi conventional heroine, I am overwhelmed that my audiences have accepted me in India and the world.

To bring up a child well, all a parent needs to do is be extremely honest with the child.
