Sushmita Sen quotes

# “I don’t touch alcohol. I only drink a Coca Cola or a Thums Up, even if I take a drop of wine I’ll drop down. Most people who form this judgement that I drink have never even met me. So it’s wrong to form an judgement like that. As far as being a smoker is concerned, yes, I do smoke.”

# “A lot of people have told me I’ll die young which is strange because I already feel I’ve lived a lifetime. Honestly, I don’t believe in all these predictions and soothsayers because if they were so correct then they would all be millionaires by now. Sometimes I do hear them out just for my own amusement.”

# “People don’t realise that people can’t become famous or celebrities or whatever you call it unless and until people recognise you to be one. India recognised me to be one. I knew that if I had to work I wouldn’t have to struggle in India again, whereas I would have to do so abroad.”

# ” I can sleep for two hours and wake up in the morning and still be active but for an actress, it is very important to get a good sleep!”

# “As Femina Miss India, I saw so many poor children and from so close, that I wanted to adopt a girl child. It took me years to get one.”

# “I’m basically a very impulsive person and I have always done what I’ve felt is right. Therefore I’ve just followed my instincts. If they turn out right I’ll call it strategy”

# “I have many memorable moments in my treasure-chest of memories but the day I became a mother is something special. On June 30, 2000 the courts handed me my daughter, Renee. I loved Renee from the first time I laid eyes on her.”

# “I am totally a beach person. I love South America and I’ve been there lots of times, specially Venezuela and Brazil. They are great vacation cities. There is not a single country in South America that I have not been to. Among the places I haven’t seen but which I would love to visit, Spain tops my list.”

# “Yes, I am a night person but I prefer staying awake at home till late at night. I rarely go to any pub. I would rather hang out at home with loud music and dance in my room. Abroad I love going to restaurants like ‘Sky Bar’ in Los Angeles and ‘Tao’ in New York.”

# “I feel I started my life when I won at Goa – The Miss India contest. Then another memorable moment was when I won the Miss Universe crown in Manila. But none of those moments compare to what I felt on July 31 in 2001. That was when the court gave me Renee’s adoption rights. Renee means “to be born again”, and after having her in my life, I feel reborn. I don’t want anything to go wrong for her ever. So I am that much more careful with my life now. No more rash driving. Being a mother, I don’t think anything has topped the moment yet.”

# “The reason why I wanted to be famous! No one’s asked me that one so I am going to tell it now. I have always thought that a person is born, lives his life, goes through life in a certain way, maybe does some good things that everyone applauds… maybe your family, maybe your friends. But when you die, you want to have touched a few more lives. You want people to feel the loss when you go and miss you. I want to be famous because I want my fans to become my extended family.”

# “I’m 30, and enjoying every bit of it. I haven’t changed a thing that I don’t like wearing and the only reason I don’t wear it is ‘coz I don’t like it on myself. I reveal when I feel like it. It’s about freedom of choice, not age. If you are comfortable with it, wear it.”
