Sushmita Sen's month long trip to Trinidad
Sushmita Sen's month long trip to Trinidad, 13 years after she visited it for the first time, has filled her with regret. The lush green tropical island has turned into a concrete jungle.
"It felt uncanny to be back in Trinidad after 13 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 into a concrete jungle. But the warmth and hospitality of the people remains unchanged," Sushmita, who was there to shoot Mudassar Aziz's "Dulha Mil Gaya", told IANS.
The people overwhelmed Sushmita with their hospitality.
"They welcomed me as though I was one of them. I've never felt so much at home in any other foreign country. But it's good to be back home after so long," said Sushmita who landed in Mumbai Tuesday morning.
Sushmita had a hugely exhilarating experience in Trinidad.
"When I was in Trinidad 13 years ago someone stole my Miss Universe watch from my hotel room. It was 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 up on the island to apologise for what happened so long ago. It was a truly heartwarming 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. 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."
