Bollywood actor Sushmita Sen says she found shades of herself in a new character she plays in an updated version of the Bollywood classic "Sholay''.

Sen says her character, Durga Devi, is a more vocal, modern woman than Radha, the character veteran actress Jaya Bachchan made famous in the 1975 original.

"Durga is today's woman. She is a doctor, not as silent as Radha, '' Sen told in an interview.

"A lot of her is like me, '' said Sen. "I believe in inner strength and being positive and I don't regress to the past. ''

In the remake being directed by well-known filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma, Amitabh Bachchan plays Babban, a modern-day version of the bandit boss. The new movie centers on Babban's clash with the police.

Sen, a model-turned-actress, was crowned Miss Universe in 1994 and has since acted in 30 Hindi language movies.

Sen played a rock star in her last film, "Zindagi Rocks'' and a prostitute in an earlier movie "Chingari, '' in Hindi, and says she enjoys playing a variety of characters.

"When I choose a character, I want to do things that I haven't done as Sushmita," Sen said in the interview.
