<p>Now my heart is into other things. As a 35-year-old woman, I cannot play an 18-year-old college girl in a film. I am happy with whatever I am doing. Yes, I am doing very little films, but I am doing them on my own terms,” said Sushmita.<br /><br />“I can be anything in Bollywood, but never a rat. I was never in the rat race. After I did Main Hoon Na, people said that I have finally understood the importance of commercial cinema. But the truth is that I have always done things from my heart,” said Sushmita, the first Indian to win the Miss Universe pageant.<br /><br />So far, Sushmita’s biggest hit has been the 2004 movie Main Hoon Na, in which she starred as Shah Rukh Khan's love interest. Despite rumours of link-ups throughout her career, the actress, who was last seen in the box-office dud Dulha Mil Gaya, has remained single so far and raised two adopted kids. In 2000, the actress adopted a girl named Renee and in January this year, she adopted a three-month-old Alisah. “I would surely adopt more kids, and also have children biologically,” she said. <br /><br />Sushmita said that her dream project of making a film based on Rani Laxmibai is stuck due to her stubbornness of not compromising with the budget of the film. “I have been very stubborn with that project. I wrote a Rs 80-crore film, but the producers wanted to spend Rs 30 crore. So I quit. It is a crossover film and I wanted to make it big,” she said.<br />After having ruled the ramp for many years, Sushmita said that now she doesn't consider herself a model anymore.<br /><br />“When I walk the ramp now, I am not doing any modelling. I just try to showcase the designer's collection in my way, rather than as a model,” she said. On whether she would do any Bengali film, she said since it is her mother tongue, she is careful with her choices.<br /><br />“If I get a South Indian film, I might do it without much problem. But since I am a Bengali, I don't want to mess up while choosing a Bengali film. So I am very watchful,” she said. When asked about her marriage plans, she said she is standing in a queue waiting for her turn. “My father used to tell me that don't try and jump the queue. Otherwise you will have to return and start afresh. So I am waiting for my turn,” she said.</p>
