If a man can afford me, I will marry him: Sushmita (Film Snippets)

NEW DELHI - She’s been linked to a string of men in the past including Randeep Hooda and Mudassar Aziz, but 33-year-old actress Sushmita Sen says she has no plans to settle down until a man can “afford” her.

“If a man can afford me, I’ll definitely do that,” Sushmita told IANS.

The former beauty queen, who will be seen on screen after a long time in Big Pictures’ and Vashu Bhagnani’s co-production “Do Knot Disturb”, is otherwise content with her life.

“My life has been very good and exciting. I am making sure that I do only commercial films as I don’t want to waste time doing anything else other than what is saleable and what can give my audiences something to see after such a long wait of not seeing me as an actor,” she said.

Also starring funny man Govinda, Riteish Deshmukh and Lara Dutta, “Do Knot Disturb” is set to release Oct 2.

Making ‘Chase’ is a risk for me: Mundhra

Britain-based Indian filmmaker Jagmohan Mundhra, who is attempting an action thriller for the first time with “Chase”, says he is taking a big risk by making such a movie.

“It is quite possible that over the years people who have begun to like my films get disappointed since my films are mostly issue-based and there is no issue attached to ‘Chase’. On the other hand, those who don’t like my kind of films would think this will also be an issue-based film so why go and watch it.

“So there is a risk from both sides. But one has to take chances in life,” Mundhra said.

“Chase” is the debut film of television star Anuj Saxena. It also stars Udita Goswami.
