Bold and brash: a potent pull


Delhi Times of this Sunday carried a picture of Sushmita Sen on front page corner, anointed on top of her recent boyfriend who was carrying her through sea waters. It carried a caption that Sushmita did not want to get wet, so her boyfriend was carrying her on his shoulders. Now Sushmita is one female I really adore and admire, for she has really lived life on her own terms, which is all the more appreciable considering her middle class background. She won the Universe (literally) at age 18, her final answer – a woman is a person who teaches a man what loving, caring and sharing is all about – reflected a maturity beyond her years. Her foray into films may not have been as successful as others but she is still looked upon with admiration.

Significantly it’s her personal life which is worth emulating, for she has used and thrown men without much ado. Unlike other actresses who have been through unnecessary gossip, Sushmita maintains her own place and it is her men who are ditched and not the other way round. True she must have slept with many around, but she has never been into prostitution. Also she continues to be sexually attractive though off late she looks somewhat broader than required and wrinkles have appeared on face.

Also Sushmita is one of the few actresses who smokes openly and has never denied her nicotine addiction. In a country where female smokers are still frowned upon and only in select metros women can puff openly, Sush deserves kudos for her open admission. Even in Delhi – where Sushmita hails from, it is only in select hangouts, offices, schools and colleges that girls light up without fear.

Perhaps it is the boldness, confidence and independence which make females like Sushmita attractive. Men who have come into her life and who will follow later know she is not for keeps, but then her attraction is also irresistible. Men mostly fall for the passion and heat in females, but when it combines with intelligence and independence a truly deadly cocktail results which makes many forget the consequences before taking the plunge. After all everyone wants to have a share of chocolate pie, no matter if the taste may not last long

I guess it is the physicality of women which primarily lures men; the treasure of pleasure is after all tough to ignore, but ultimately it is the boldness and brashness which constitutes a potent pull

  1. The attraction of Sushmita is unquestionable and what I totally admire about her is her no holds barred approach to life. Her films might not sizzle but she surely does!

  3. Yea there's something about such women who draw men to them like bees to a hive. And it sure takes something to do your own thing despite being in the public eye, constantly judged/talked about.

  12. She is one woman I believe without double standards :)!! Yes, she is bold and brash yet extremely sauve` and classy in a strange way!! I have always loved her diction, choice of words, and the way she has groomed herself.

    One thing, boldness & brashness may constitute a potent pull for men, but it would be so temporary! Mind you, women are admired and desired when they strike a right balance!

  14. You forgot to mention another point here. Her saying that she neednt be married to be a mother and going ahead and fulfilling her dream twice over by adopting two girls is awesome. It simply says 'Fuck You!, I do my own thing' which is worth emulating.
