Mumbai, May 23 -- Sushmita Sen's newest tattoo has I AM neatly inscribed on her wrist. "It's what I believe in, hence the tattoo. I am... could mean anything. I can complete the sentence depending on the situation," she explains.

Sen has four tattoos in all, and is still counting.

Ask if she will ever consider tattooing a man's name on her body and she lowers her voice, saying, "Never make that mistake, darling." As an after-thought, she adds, "The only way I would tattoo a man's name on my body, is if it were my son's name."

Is that a hint that she will soon adopt a baby boy? Maybe, though Sen says that she is ready to have biological children. "Why adopt? I may want to have biological children now. My biological clock is ticking away, so you never know." So, is marriage on the cards? "Who said anything about marriage?" she counters, continuing, "It's not like I don't want to get married. I believe, like any other girl, in 'Prince Charming'. I may not behave like a 12 year old, but I do believe in it."

Currently, Sen is busy overseeing the grooming of the participants of the I AM She pageant. The winner will represent India at the Miss Universe pageant. "The Miss Universe pageant will be held in Las Vegas this year, and I want to see India bring home the crown. Aishwarya (Rai) and I made the country proud in 1994. We had our hattrick wins 10 years ago, when Lara (Dutta), Priyanka (Chopra) and Dia (Mirza) won the coveted titles. It's time for history to repeat itself," she says.

Though Sen devotes most of her time to the pageant, she will continue to act in films. "Eight months ago, I was working on an eight-hour shift to complete shooting for No Problem. I was trying to make time for my daughter, who was in boarding school, and getting things in place for the pageant. I thought it would be difficult to continue with everything," she recalls.

But today, it's a different story. "I am biased towards women - we can multi-task and we know to delegate work. I have a wonderful team, so I don't have to give up on anything now," she laughs.
