Starring Sen, Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Arjun Rampal, Paresh Rawal, and Aditya Pancholi, ‘Aankhen’ got the attention of the audience because of its out-of-the-box storyline. It was a critically acclaimed film.

It all starts with a bank robbery in which Vijay Singh Rajput (Amitabh Bachchan) leads the way and Neha Srivastav (Sushmita Sen) is responsible for training Illyaas (Paresh Rawal), Vishwas Prajapati (Akshay Kumar), and Arjun Verma (Arjun Rampal). As things unfold, it becomes more like a cat-and-mouse chase between Rajput and the other three men.

‘Main Hoon Na’ (2004)

‘Main Hoon Na’ was a blockbuster hit with puns, drama, action, and romance. A full-fledged movie in which Sen portrays a teacher and redefines our love for her.

Recently in an interview with a media house, Sen shared that Farah Khan called her after the final edits and apologised to her because she was barely in the movie.

She added that the pre-release posters of the film had Shah Rukh Khan, Amrita Rao, and Zayed Khan, but post-release of the movie, the hoardings featured Shah Rukh Khan and Sushmita Sen. She added, “That is the power of the people the audience.”
