BOLLYWOOD STAR OVERWHELMED BY JUDD PRAISE

Bollywood star SUSHMITA SEN was left stunned when Hollywood actress ASHLEY JUDD lavished praise on her charity work with India's sex workers. The Double Jeopardy star joined Sen on a recent tour promoting sexual health among impoverished workers in India's brothels - and was impressed by the star's tireless AIDS and HIV awareness campaigning. Judd said of Sen: "She has that remarkable self-belief, answers to the enigmatic questions I don't dare touch on, stuff about being a woman in this world and other things that leave me tongue-tied. She was focused, clear-eyed, intent, attentive, dazzling." And the Bollywood star is still overwhelmed by the compliment. She says, "I'm floating in thin air. 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."
