Sanchita
The mesmerizing Sushmita Sen was last seen in the web series Aarya which received rave reviews.
This empowering beauty queen has never shied away from living life on her own terms – be it adopting two daughters or dating a younger man.
Much like her real-life, she did not tolerate bullshit in her reel-life too. Now, Bollywood is no stranger to objectifying song lyrics that will make women cringe.
But did you know… our fierce Sushmita once put her foot down and refused to lip-sync to suggestive lyrics till Anu Malik changed them? That’s right. The song in question was the iconic ‘Mehboob Mere’ from Fiza. Who can forget her powerful moves and charisma in the fiery song?
Talking about the incident, Choreographer Ganesh Hegde had told Huff Post – “There was a line that went ‘aa garmi le mere seene se (come feel the heat of my bosom)’ and she refused to sing it. She said, ‘I won’t just do it’.”
Anu Malik had to then tweak the lines to – ‘aa narmi le mere aankhon se (bask in the softness of my eyes)’.
“It was unheard of at that point of time, to command and extract that kind of respect,” Hegde had said.
Isn’t that just badass? On the work front, Sushmita will be back soon with ‘Aarya’ Season 2. As per latest reports, the show is expected to complete its shooting by July and release at the end of 2021/early 2022.
