“I used to touch up my pictures on the computer and send them to friend...” — Sushmita Sen Quote

I used to touch up my pictures on the computer and send them to friends. I would change colours, the design, and stuff like that.

As a kid, I wanted to do so many different things; I saw my aunt as an air hostess, and then I wanted to be an air hostess. I found it very glamorous, but when I flew for the first time in my life, and I saw how air hostesses have to slog and how they have to work with everybody going 'ting-ting' and how they have to keep on running up and down.

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

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.

I have always been proud and happy to wear France's colours. I have always been respectful of the team. But I need people to prove they really want me to play.

To be able to go out and play in India colours has obviously been special.

My skin's not a normal sight. When a photographer says, 'I don't know what it is, but that's just not it...' I know. They like the different colours of my skin. They're not getting them with a particular outfit.

I've got spider veins all over my legs, so I wear opaque tights all winter. All sorts of colours.

Bourjois make-up comes in amazing colours, and it's great value.
