Behind the scene: Sushmita Sen on the sets of ‘Do Knot Disturb’

Sen will be seen in a movie after a long hiatus and we wonder where she’s been. “Blame it on Shani Bhagwan,” she smiles,but seriously. “I’ve been patient. Good things come with time and I’m looking forward to this film that is an out-and-out David Dhawan entertainer.”

The actress is looking gorgeous and absolutely ready for a super comeback. She’s lost oodles of weight and looks younger than ever. “I’ve been getting loads of compliments and it’s very flattering,” she blushes. And how did she manage the sudden weightloss? “I have no interest in being size zero. I put on weight for the film and I have now lost it. But I do not market stick-thin figures at all. I have lost the weight in an absolutely healthy way. I will never starve myself; in fact I’ve always been stuffing myself. Not once did I feel that I was on a diet. I just ate healthy and exercised,” she says as she sips on her glass filled with a blood-red mix of fruit and vegetable juice.

The self-styled diva is called for her shot and as she soon as walks into the frame there’s a sudden buzz around the place. The make-up man is standing by on high alert,the cameras have all panned in on her and the choreographer nervously teaches her the steps. She grasps them within a single try. Co-actors Riteish Deshmukh and Govinda join the dance,where they ogle at her and she shoves them off with a friendly elbow push.

All three are brilliant dancers and the dance sequence is okayed within a couple of tries. They rush to the monitor and sit and watch all the takes. The atmosphere is informal and the actors joke around and are happy with the way the video is shaping up.

The film stars two Miss Universes,Sen and Lara Dutta,and rumours of their catfights on the sets have been doing the rounds since the shooting began. But Sen just laughs it off,“Ingenious free publicity isn’t it?” she jokes. “Honestly,Lara and I have known each other for so many years. We might not be great buddies but we honestly have nothing against each other. I think she’s a great actress and see absolutely no reason for us to fight,” she clarifies.

Deshmukh and Govinda have been told it’s pack-up but Sen has to wait on to do some solo shots. She touches up her make-up and goes back to fill the screen with her moves.
