There’s more than adopted children that Madonna and Sushmita Sen have in common. The Material Girl and our Miss Universe are both deeply into Kabbalah. For the uninitiated, Kabbalah is a discipline and school of thought that explores the mystical aspect of Judaism. Madonna, of course, has been a Kabbalah believer from ever since, but Sushmita has got into it recently. “I was chasing a particular number, 47, which I thought was very auspicious and this led me to the study of Kabbalah,” explained Ms Sen. “So I went to the Kabbalah Centre in New York and picked up every single possible literature they had on the subject. Today I feel like I know it a bit.”
That was two-and-half years ago. Since then, the actress says Kabbalah has brought about fabulous changes in her life. “We are talking about anti-ageing and stuff. All of this is to age gracefully, not to fight it, not restrict yourself to other peoples’ definition of ageing or of growing old. Through Kabbalah, I found ways to stay young and yet, gracefully accept that every single line on your face is something you’ve earned. So as long as you enjoy and cherish them, you’re going to age gracefully and like who you are,” she said earnestly
On the work front, the actress is currently involved with Dulha Mil Gaya and the yet to be released Karma Confessions And Holi. “There’s also David Dhawan’s film, the working title of which is Do Not Disturb, in which I’m with Govinda,” she said.
Most importantly, there’s Jhansi Ki Rani Lakshmibai which Sushmita is producing, directing and acting in. Talking about this whole experience, she said, “It’s a tough call, because of the sheer size of the canvas of the film that I want to make. I’d much rather be doing three years of pre-production than three years of postproduction. I have a very emotional tie with the film. Tons of work has gone into the scripting, presentation, etc. I want it to be a 2010 release and if everything goes well, Insha Allah it should be so,” she added.

Joining the league of film stars on the small screen, actress Sushmita Sen recently made her debut with the reality show Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena.
By roping in popular cricketers to shake a leg for the first time on a reality dance show, Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena has managed to create the right buzz. But Sushmita’s looks has drawn criticism, all that weight the actress has added to her tall frame hasn’t gone down well with her fans, and of course the media.
“I love these weighty issues. I think they are lovely. One of the concerns that I have often had are about people and not necessarily people in general but specifically people in media. It’s the fact that when you run out of story ideas you look for weighty issues to talk about and that’s not a problem as long as it doesn’t blow up too much in poeple’s faces and takes away from the work that I am doing which is whether TV or film. You talk about what you want, I will be very happy bystander,” Sushmita said.
The actress will soon be turning director with her ambitious dream project, a film on the life of Rani Laxmibai. And she says she has a very strong reason for going behind the camera.
“I have lived with this film for a year-and-a-half. For me to get anybody else to direct this film would mean conflict of interests on the sets because we would be constantly fighting about which visions to fulfill and that’s why I am doing it,” Sushmita said.
Sushmita also plans to essay the title role of Rani Laxmibai in the film and is currently immersed in the pre-production.
“The film will be made soon. But right now my primary concern is quite few of them. It is a huge canvas. It is a women-oriented film which is not necessarily one of the most saleable concept on commercial Indian films term. And it’s a very big film and I don’t want to compromise on it,” she said.
“Having said that, we have finished the screenplay, we are down to storyboarding and once the storyboarding is complete and my seven minutes presentation is ready for my international buyers, that’s when I close the chapter till I am ready with my wishlist, my technicians and the funding,” she added.
Sushmita’s directorial debut in and as Rani Laxmibai, well that’s one film we definitely wouldn’t want to miss.
