"God
is
the
real
rock
star
and
we
all
are
his
public" says
Sushmita
Sen,
who
plays
a
rock
star
in
Tanuja
Chandra's
forthcoming
venture
Zindaggi
Rocks.
After
Chingaari,
Sushmita
is
all
set
to
present
a
hard
hitting
performance.
The
character
of
Riya
is
a
replica
of
her
real
life.
Sushmita
plays
a
single
mother,
who
lives
her
life
in
her
own
style.
Speaking
about
Zindaggi
Rocks
Sushmita
says,
"The
character
that
I
play,
Riya,
is
far
more
passionate
version
of
me.
Riya
tries
to
understand
herself
and
I
think
she
is
a
unique
example
for
others.
It's
about
a
person,
who
lives
his/her
life
on
his/her
own
terms
and
is
a
real
rock
star.
I
have
lived
my
life
like
this.
We
all
know
what
are
the
reasons
and
the
need
to
be
alive.
It's
about
everything
you
do
in
this
life
time;
every
moment
of
your
lifetime
is
yours
and
is
unique
to
you."
Apparently,
Zindaggi
Rocks
is
the
first
venture
of
B.A.G
Films
and
Producer
Anuradha
Prasad
chose
Tanuja
Chandra
as
a
captain
of
her
ship.
Sushmita
has
earlier
worked
with
female
directors
like
Kalpana
Lajmi,
Meghna
Gulzar
and
Farah
Khan.
And
this
time
it
was
Tanuja
Chandra.
When
asked
what
it
felt
like
to
be
directed
by
a
female
director?
Sush
replies,
"I
love
working
with
women
directors
because
they
are
sensitive
by
heart.
Their
style
of
presentation
is
simply
unique.
Tanuja
Chandra
is
love
of
my
life.
It
is
so
easy
to
be
directed
by
a
woman
director" she
replies.
On
a
sarcastic
note,
Sushmita
adds,
"We
also
had
some
problems
earlier
as
woman
directors
give
more
attention
to
the
male
actors.
I
have
suffered
this
with
Shiny
Ahuja
and
Tanuja
Chandra
during
this
film
and
also
during
Main
Hoon
Na
with
Shah
Rukh
and
Farah
Khan.
But
I
have
to
say
that
both
the
men,
both
the
films
and
both
the
directors
are
very
special
to
me."
However,
on
a
serious
note
she
says,
"Tanuja
is
an
intelligent
director
and
very
special
to
me.
And
any
time
in
life
she
makes
any
film
I
would
like
to
work
with
her."
Being
into
controversies
for
her
last
film
what
does
she
feel
now?
"I
work
on
my
instincts
and
when
I
feel
I
have
to
do
a
film
like
Chingaari,
I
do
it.
Whenever
my
honesty
reflects
through
my
performance,
I
feel
satisfied
that
I
have
done
my
job."
says
Sushmita.
When
asked
about
the
acting
scope
in
this
film,
she
replies,
"Zindaggi
Rocks
is
another
spectrum
for
acting.
While
in
Chingaari,
I
played
a
sex
worker,
here
I
play
a
rock
star.
This
film
has
a
lot
of
scope
for
feelings
and
acting
as
well.
Rockstar
is
a
human
being.
His
success,
his
songs,
his
presentation,
everything
blends
into
his
personality.
He
lives
with
the
joy
and
dies
with
the
same.
Today,
I
am
out
of
the
bed
after
three
weeks.
I
had
spinal
injury
but
this
is
life
you
see.
You
get
out
of
your
bed
and
where
do
you
land
up,
on
stage!"
she
laughs.
