Kangana Ranaut is pushing the envelope - Sushmita Sen

In recent times, Sushmita Sen has been mighty impressed with the kind of films being made in Bollywood. Among the younger lot, the actress is very fond of Kangana Ranaut who recently won a National Award for her performance in Queen. Sush says that Kangana reminds her a lot about herself in her younger days.

Talking about it she says, "I think she is in a very different time than I was. She is pushing the envelope even more than I did.

When I was pushing the envelope, it was a shocker. It was blasphemous and almost a suidice to do something like that.

Today there is a lot more acceptance in terms of the changing social structure. She is pushing it a lot more and good girl. Everytime I have been asked about which is the last film that sticks out in my head other then Sridevi in English Vinglish, its Queen. It is one thing to push the envelope, and its another things to keep at it and follow it up. She has managed to do that. Also, the fact that she has such an openess about her that she just takes it all in and puts in into her film and allows it to just connect it with people. And I really hope that actors like that, never lose that ability.

I am very proud of her. Right from the time, I worked with her in my last Hindi film, No Problem, I was mesmerised by her. She is like this switch on-switch off button, a very alive person. God Bless her because this has been cumulatively coming for her. She has taken risks in the past and its finally paying off."
