After Tabbu in ‘Chandni bar’, Kareena in ‘Chameli’ and Preity in ‘Chori Chori Chupke Chupke’, we will be seeing Sushmita as a prostitute in Kalpana Lajmi’s Chingari.

Chingari is a story of love between a shy postman and a prostitute. Exploitation of women is the basic theme of the movie as it was in Kalpana Lajmi’s award winning movie ‘Rudali’. Chingari is based on a short story ‘The postman and the prostitute’ written by Assamese singer and politician Bhupen Hazarika. Sushmita Sen was not the first choice of director Kalpana Lajmi who first wanted to hire Bipasha Basu in this role after listening no from Bipasha she went to Preity Zinta who refused it aswell. Then she hired Ravena but Ravena got married and became busy mother before the shooting began. At last Kalpana signed Sushmita Sen who eagerly wanted to do this role. Sushmita even reduced her market price by 50% for this movie.

Later the same Sushmita refused to take part in the promotion of the movie. The controversy sparked when the co-actor Anuj Sawhaney told a newspaper that the kissing scene between Sushmita and himself was finalized after 30 retakes (proof he has no brains, why would kalpana like to see him kissing sushmita again and again? Doesn’t she had anything else to do? liar Sala!). Sushmita got angry on this news item and refused to take part in any promotion of this movie. Later Kalpana talked to her and they decided that Sushmita will promote the movie without the presence of Anuj Swahney.
