Former beauty queen-turned-actress Sushmita Sen's dormant film career has left her with no option but to simply hope for an award every subsequent year.

'Unfortunately I am not getting any award this time. But I will be back with my other films next time. This time I will just give away the awards,' Sushmita told reporters here.

Sushmita is here to promote her forthcoming comedy film 'Do Knot Disturb', which also stars Govinda, Riteish and Lara.

'I am promoting my film heavily. That's what I am here for. We are also performing at the IIFA,' she said.
