Sushmita Sen on being away from celluloid: 'I was doing multiple other things'

During the virtual launch of Aarya’s original soundtrack, Sushmita Sen talked about how the Ram Madhavani-created series seemed perfect to her as her comeback outing. While speaking to a news daily, Sushmita Sen revealed that during her sabbatical from Bollywood, she didn’t listen to the people who managed her because her and their thoughts 'didn’t match'. Sen further added that she always thought 'distance makes the heart grow fonder'.

Furthermore, talking about how her life was never defined by only films, Sushmita Sen said that she was able to stay away from any kind of insecurity that a break could induce. The 44-year-old then added that she was not waiting and sitting at home to get a film in her kitty and that she didn’t have a state of insecurity because her life had many other purposes. Talking about the multiple things she was doing with her life, Sushmita Sen talked about how she was creating brands in various ventures. 

Sushmita Sen also added that she was looking at creative projects and biding her time. Sushmita revealed that she told herself, "It will come." Sen then added that she pondered she has not done what she believes she is capable of. The Main Hoon Na actor asserted that she needs people to believe in her to bring that out.
