Sushmita Sen is one of the most loved actresses in Bollywood. The actress, who gained widespread popularity for her role in Shah Rukh Khan's 'Main Hoon Na', once revealed that Farah Khan had apologized to her because the final cut of the film barely featured her. The 1994 Miss Universe winner spoke about the unique trajectory and "small but powerful role" of her character, Chandni Chopra—a sentiment reaffirmed by the late film maestro Yash Chopra.

Sushmita shared that 'Main Hoon Na' became career-defining because everyone “keeps going back” to the film. Recalling a pivotal moment during the film's final edit, Sushmita mentioned that director Farah Khan had apologized for her limited screen presence.
