Bollywood star overwhelmed Ashley compliments - Jul 14, 2007
Bollywood actress Sushmita Sen admits she is "floating in thin air" after generous praise from actress-activist Ashley Judd. “I'm floating in thin air. This was the first time that I interacted with an organization that works so closely with sex workers. Ashley has been working with them for five years. I'm a newly converted novice in front of her," Sushmita says. She continued, "To see someone as special as her being so keenly interested in working at the grassroots level is so admirable." Ashley, who flew to India in March as part of the NGO Population Services International to aware sex workers about HIV/AIDS, wrote 'ONE' blog, "I was being joined by a stranger to me, but a beloved star to millions of Indians: Sushmita Sen, maverick yet firmly ensconced Bollywood star. We picked her for her willingness to break with convention in her personal and professional life."
