She is ravishing, she is sexy and she even conquered the globe in the same year as Aishwarya but still Sushmita lagged behind in the number game.

On the personal front, she has nothing much to write home about either. The poor lass has gone through so many bad relationships that you can call her the queen of heartbreaks. Be it Vikram Bhatt or Sanjay Narang, everyone chose to walk out on her.

"I've always needed good looking men around me. But I have been betrayed in love so often that I am now very cautious in my dealings with men." she confesses.

The reason for her gloomy tale: She is different from the sorry lot of Bollywood. Seen as one of the thinking actress we have, this Bengali lass is over with her share of regular bump and grind kitch.

Her latest release, 'Samay - When Time Strikes', may have sunk at the box office but her brilliant portrayal of a hard-hitting cop has won her all the accolades.

Don't be surprised, if at the end of the year, Sush sashays away with all the applause and even more meaty roles. After all, here's one Bollywood actress living by her rules. And what's even better, getting away with it too!
