I am fond of Wasim Akram: Sushmita Sen

Barely a month back, actress-cum-entrepreneur Sushmita Sen was seen attending superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s bash at his Bandra residence. But it invited a lot of attention as Pakistani cricketer Wasim Akram, whom she was reportedly dating in the past, was there too.

Ask her what they spoke about and Sen’s first reaction is a hearty, “NOYB.” Huh? “None of your business.” But nudge her a little and she admits that they did some catching up. In fact, she says that they even met up at a Juhu resto-bar soon after.

A little more coaxing and Sen reveals, “I am extremely fond of Wasim. But if I start having an affair with every man I am friends with… Being in a relationship is a big deal and the day I am in one, I will surely tell everyone. I won’t keep people guessing.”

Remind her that close to a year back, she had taken to the stage and proudly announced that after being mother to two adopted girls, she was finally ready to have biological children.

Ask her what is the update on that decision and she says, “I’d still say that I’m ready to have biological children. The only problem is that I have to find a man to suit the title of father. But trust me, birthing is a process I want to experience. I know that my body clock is ticking, but I think a woman has good chances of conceiving till she is 42 years of age… so I keep telling myself that I still have some time to go.”

Till then, Sen says that she is busy with launching a chain of spas, running an events firm, looking at scripts occasionally and most importantly trying to find the best candidate to represent India at an international platform for the Miss Universe pageant, through her competition I Am She.
