New Delhi, Sep 17 - The two beauty queens became Miss Universe and later joined Bollywood. Now when they come together for a film, rumours of rivalry are bound to do the rounds. But Lara Dutta, who stars along with Sushmita Sen in comedy 'Do Knot Distrurb', says they got along well and would love to work together again.
'Sushmita is a lovely person and we never had any problem working with each other. This (rumour) is generated for publicity, but there is normally very little truth behind the talk that we didn't get along,' Lara told IANS in an interview.
'Our country has only two Miss Universes and if they also start fighting...it couldn't get sadder than that. I just wish I had more screen time to share with her, as we had not worked together earlier and it was a fantastic opportunity,' she said.
Rumour mills were abuzz that the two actresses were having a cold war due to Lara's meaty part in the film directed by David Dhawan.
Lara hoped she would get a chance to work again with Sushmita, who was crowned Miss Universe in 1994.
'I hope people will cast us again at some other time. At least David (Dhawan) should do it again,' said Lara, who was crowned Miss Universe in 2000.
Co-produced by Big pictures and Vashu Bhagnani, 'Do Knot Disturb' is a laugh riot on marriage and infidelity. Releasing Oct 2, the movie also stars Govinda, Riteish Deshmukh, Sohail Khan, Ranvir Shorey and Rajpal Yadav.
Throwing light on her character, Lara said: 'I play Dolly who is sort of a pin-up girl for men. But her own life is very complicated as she loves a man who is her sugar daddy.
'She wants security too; so she has an ex-boyfriend who truly loves her and at the same time she also has an unsuspecting soul who enters her life and turns into her best friend.
