Sushmita Sen happy with women-centric roles

Actress and former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen says the change in the roles essayed by women in the Hindi film industry is fantastic. "It's a fantastic time for women actors in the film industry because I have seen in the last 13 years alone, the whole concept of a woman-centric film being the centre of all the attention," Sushmita told.

Sushmita, who is a single mother to two daughters -- Renee and Alisah, said the Indian audience is getting more educated regarding such films. "We're a lovely film-going nation. I do feel very strongly that more and more opportunities such as these should arise through a good script, great makers and an audience that is willing to learn and enjoy different kinds of Cinema," she added.
