Sushmita Sen on the repercussions of saying no to a project

Sushmita Sen has lately been making headlines for her good work in the web series Aarya. In a recent interaction with a leading news portal, the actor opened up on how she had been rejecting quite a few projects before taking up Aarya. She said that saying no to too many projects comes out as alienating people. She stated that they are all in business with humungous egos and that is not a secret to anyone. Each time one says no, it becomes a problem, it might even mean to some that the person does not wish to work at that point.

She chooses them so she is responsible for it, no matter what the content is like. She said that a few projects that came to her were not good enough while in a few other cases, people would behave like they are doing a favour by keeping someone in the industry which does not work with the talented actor. She also admitted that she is currently hungry for good work.

She said in the interview that she needed such response big time and it is what helps her grow, otherwise, she believes, she is just another actor trying to stay in the game. Sushmita Sen also said that she learnt how to say no years back and she can actually say it euphorically.
