 Bollywood star Sushmita Sen says she is "floating in thin air" after lavish praise from Hollywood actress-activist Ashley Judd. "This was the first time that I interacted with an organisation 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 said. "To see someone as special as her being so keenly interested in working at the grassroot level is so admirable," she added.
Ashley visited India in March as part of the NGO Population Services International to educate sex workers about HIV/AIDS. Sushmita joined her in the campaign and the two visited brothels and interacted with young sex workers.
After going back to the US, Ashley expressed her views on Sushmita on her blog. The Double Jeopardy star says that she admires Sushmita’s self-confidence and her unconventional approach towards life.
She wrote: "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. She, as a single woman, adopted a daughter seven years ago, and has played roles of ‘immoral’ women in films."
