Sushmita Sen called up Netflix, Hotstar chiefs for work

Recalling the time when she wanted to come back after a long hiatus from acting, Sushmita Sen says she used to call people, tell them who she was, and ask for work.

Sushmita Sen has recently revealed her bold approach to reentering the world of entertainment after a prolonged hiatus. In a candid interview with Mid Day, Sen shared that she took matters into her own hands by directly reaching out to the heads of major streaming platforms in her quest for meaningful projects.

The former Miss Universe, known for her poise and elegance, surprised many when she admitted to making direct calls to industry leaders at Netflix, Hotstar, and Disney+, expressing her eagerness to return to the screen.

This bold move reflects Sen’s determination to carve a niche for herself once again in the ever-evolving landscape of the entertainment industry. Despite being a seasoned performer with a rich repertoire of films, the actress felt the need to reintroduce herself after taking a step back from the limelight.

In an exclusive interview with a leading Indian newspaper, Sen shared insights into her comeback journey earlier this year, stating, “I felt like a newcomer, attending 14-hour workshops and coming home late and loving every bit of it… I am glad I listened to my heart, even if it meant walking away from films. I stepped away and unlearned, learned, and came back with Aarya.”
