So, how many hits does Sushmita Sen have to her credit? Think hard. Is it three? Four? Six perhaps, if one is being optimistic. This is strange, considering Sush has been around for over 10 years, with more than 30 films on her CV. Not an impressive tally at all, is it?
Then again, the actress has never strayed from the top league. She still has a huge fan following, and still rocks despite many a slump.
At a recent press meet in Mumbai for her latest film, Zindaggi Rocks, Sushmita sounded gung-ho. "I am thankful to God and my fans who have believed in me despite of all the flops I have delivered," she said.
"It is not possible for any actor to be in this industry and survive after so many flops. I have tried different things as an actor and have always believed in experimenting. I have proved that, if I can rock in red saris (a reference to her popular Main Hoon Na look), I can also do intense roles like the one in Zindaggi Rocks. I have succeeded at times, and failed at others, but I am here to do good cinema."
