Actress Sushmita Sen, who is known for living life on her own terms, says she takes her diva image seriously.

Former Miss Universe was overwhelmed to receive the Best Diva honor at the third Pevonia AsiaSpa India Awards 2009.

Wearing a black cardigan with a tube top and trousers, the 34-year-old beauty said, “It is an honor to be called a diva.”

She also added that she is a regular at spas to destress herself and replenish her outer beauty.

“But the real beauty comes from within and that’s all about happiness and well being. And I get that by romancing with my two daughters,” Sushmita said.

The actress, who was last seen playing an onscreen diva in ‘Dulha Mil Gaya’, has two adopted daughters, Renee (10) and four-month-old Alisah.
