/> "They welcomed me as though I was one of theirs. I've never felt so much at home in any other foreign country," exults Sushmita as her multi-tasking acumen comes into full play hours after she lands back in Mumbai.

She's unpacking, unwinding, de-jetlagging and getting her office functional after a longish layoff.

"It's good to be back home after so long," Sushmita Sen landed in Mumbai on Tuesday morning after a month in the West Indies for Mudassar Aziz's Dulha Mil Gaya.

Shooting in the West Indies filled Bollywood's resident diva with a strange sense of déjà vu and joie de vivre.

"It felt uncanny to be back in Trinidad after thirteen years, this time to shoot a film. The last time it was in the capacity of Miss Universe. The greenery is gone! The entire tropical island has been turned unto a concrete jungle. But the warmth and hospitality of the people remains unchanged."

Sushmita had a hugely exhilarating experience in Trinidad. "When I was in Trinidad thirteen years ago someone stole my Miss Universe watch from my hotel room. It was very very precious, and not because it was expensive.

I don't show my emotions much in public. But that day I had cried. ...Now cut to when I land in Trinidad last month. And guess what? The locals remembered that unpleasant incident!

They came up to me at various public places from the time I landed on the island to apologize for what happened so long ago. It was a truly heart-warming acceptance of the fact that wounds are meant to heal."

Sushmita returned from Trinidad with a fund of fond memories of the island and the film. "I don't know about how Dulha Mil Gaya will look finally. But I had a ball shooting it.The director Mudassar has done a splendid job. I'm very satisfied with the way the film has shaped up."

Daughter Renee had accompanied Sushmita to Trinidad. "We two girls had ourselves a ball," smiles the ebullient diva.
