She is very popular in whatever role she does or even when she is being herself - as her innate intelligence and fun-loving nature is like the radiance she wears.

This 30-year-old actress has been working non-stop in remote locations. She has also been working on foreign projects. She finds that working for Hollywood movies is good as they are very organized, but even then feels that the Bollywood scene with the songs and dancing are also fun.

She is working in Karma Confessions and Holi, where the Indians are represented rather than made fun of.

She is also acting opposite Richard Gere in a movie called Expat, which is to be filmed in Argentina. Sushmita plays the role of a Pakistani expatriate.

Due to her positive attitude and fun loving nature she accepts all her films whether hits or flops as gifts.

Sushmita would love to work with Aishwarya in a movie, but since there has been so much media hype about their so called rivalry that it would take a really good director with a strong story line to be able to do justice to both their status and talent.

Sushmita has completed a film for Tanuja Chandra – Rockin, where she plays a rock star. She is working opposite Saif and Fardeen for a film by Abbas Mastaan.

She has started her own production house called Tantra Entertainment and plans to make at least 3 movies a year. Her dream project is to make an epic on Rani Laxmibai. The subject is being researched thoroughly.

Sushmita has also started a leisure company called Sensation – where she wants to launch hotels, spas, lounges and restaurants. To begin with she has initiated work on a pub/lounge in Kolkata. It is a 10,000 sq feet space on the 10^th floor of a building, with the view of Victoria Gardens on one side and the Howrah Bridge on the other.

She is a style icon – known and admired for her grace and poise. She proves it when in the film Main Hoon Na, she did not have an important role as such, but she wore vibrant chiffon saris with such grace and aplomb that people definitely noticed her.

She does not want to commit herself on her relationship to Randeep Hooda, but admitted that he was close to her adopted daughter, Renee, and felt that she shared a spiritual relationship with him. Renee is the focus of her life. Marriage, for her is a beautiful institution, which could not be chalked out and planned. When the time was right the right person would come along and things would automatically fall into place.

Tabassum Hashmi – or Tabu as she is known to all of us is the sister of Farha (also an actress of considerable repute) and niece of veteran actress Shabana Azmi, who is a social worker and wife of Javed Akthar.

Tabu is no simpering, giggly beauty without brains. She is definitely a woman of substance and an intelligent woman. She puts to waste axioms like Beauty without brains. When a person meets her, he is spellbound by her beauty and radiance and only when talking with her it is apparent that the radiance is due to an intelligent mind.

She made her debut in Dev Anand’s Hum Naujawan when she was 16 years old. She came into her own as a leading artiste only after Vijaypath in 1994. She was on a roller coaster of commercial cinema for 2 years after that.

She became associated with meaningful cinema after her role in Astitva. She excelled in Gulzar’s Maachis and owes a lot to him for portraying her talent and ability to get into the skin of the character so well. Gulzar understood that she does not believe in playing a certain character but she becomes the character herself. He was instrumental in grooming her for the more meaningful films.

She was asked to choose her role in Meghana Gulzar’s Filhaal. In Madhur Bhandarkar’s Chandni Bar, she gave an award winning performance.

She has not yet tied the knot, as she is not on the lookout for just any relationship. Maybe if she was younger she could have, but now she knows that she has grown up and also understands that previously she had the same shortcomings of women her age. She acknowledges that women generally are more demanding and petty and jealous. Men she feels are more open natured – till they undergo the travails at the hands of a woman.

She is looking for a life partner who will understand and liberate her rather than be constrictive to the relationship. She doesn’t mind biding her time till she meets The Man.

According to all her directors she is very well behaved on the sets. Madhur Bhandarkar for one feels she does not need time to prepare for an emotional scene. Where an actor would want to be left alone and mope before such a shot, she can just switch on and switch off her emotions. She can be laughing with the technicians’ minutes before she is emoting heartrending sorrow in the scene.

There is a lot of speculation about her forthcoming film, Mira Nair’s The Namesake which is slated for release in March 2007.
