It’s easier to do films which will definitely do well," Priyanka, who has been declared the ‘Endorsement queen of 2008′, said.

Before Fashion when four-five of my films did not do well, the media was quick to write me off," she said.

Now, I have learnt what films are about," she said before flying off to US to shoot Anjana Anjani with Ranbir Kapoor.

I’ve only been in relationships – Sushmita Sen

Bollywood — Wed, 30 Dec 2009 07:03:00 +0000

She is one of those rare combinations of beauty and brain. A former Miss Universe, an actor, a single mother of two, and now a businesswoman…

Sushmita Sen is truly living life to the brim. The actor in conversation with TWF correspondent Sreya Basu in Kolkata.

What made you sign Dulha Mil Gaya After many years I am doing a film which I can claim as mine…this is my film.

It has been written keeping me in mind. My character is that of Shimmer…she is just as her name suggests.

She is very sparkling, energetic, independent…a supermodel…today’s woman. Everything about her is good, but she has no relationships in her life.

So through the journey of the film she finds that part of her life, which I think is true for a lot of woman today.
