 Sushmita Talks: I always wanted to do a clothing lineFrom Ms Universe in 1994 to a failed filmi debutante in Bollywood, Sushmita Sen had a dizzying rise before she fizzled out in those airy reaches. Here, in the second instalment, we find her in conversation with her confidante and guardian of her beauty, her mirror.
We talk about compromises and taking the middle path. What about you?
"I'm not so much into compromises. I'd rather sacrifice. Because if you have understanding between two people, then why shouldn't that understanding be complete? Why should it be that I'll walk this much and you'll walk this much? You give that up completely. I'd rather sacrifice, and give in to a situation. I'd rather just say, forget it, I'll walk it all the way or you walk it all the way, I'm just made that way."
Is this attitude in relationships, or other aspects of life too?
"In every aspect of life. I don't believe there is anything called compromise, because compromises don't last long. The minute you compromise, you start blaming the other person for every loss you have in life. 'Because I did this for you, I'm going through this in life'. Why go through that? Just say I did that for myself. It's never like I'm going to compromise on my smoking. I going to smoke only three a day. It's never that way -- either I smoke or I do not smoke it." Read More
 People are welcome to be inquisitive about my life
She has been quite open about her relationships in the past, but Sushmita Sen is, for the first time, tight-lipped about her latest boyfriend Manav.
"As you mature with time, 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.
"As long as I can answer without compromising the other person, I do it. I can't let other people suffer for the choices I make in life. People are most welcome to be inquisitive about my life. I do enjoy sharing it," Sushmita told IANS in an interview.
Career wise 2006 wasn't too encouraging for the actress. She had two releases, "Chingaari" and "Zindaggi Rocks" - both bombed at the box office but she is unfazed!
"By god's grace, every time a film of mine bombs, which is rather regularly, I've kept growing and diversifying into different areas of the entertainment business," she said.
She confesses that now she has actually started enjoying acting. "Cinema allows me to exhale. It's no longer about impressing other people but expressing myself. That's what makes me feel so liberated." Read the interview
