Sushmita Sen is one of those strong women who has shattered every stereotype in style. Be it becoming the first ever Miss Universe from India, surviving a brutal heart attack, or adopting daughters in her early 20s, you name it, and she's done it all.


In a recent interview, the Aarya actress recalled the time when she was called names like gold digger amidst rumors of her dating IPL founder Lalit Modi. She was time and again linked with her ex-boyfriend, Rohman Shawl. This was after the two called it quits but still remained friends.

Sushmita said, 'An insult is an insult when you receive it I don't receive it. So it went out of the window. There are certain things that are nobody's business.' When asked about her current relationship status, she said she is 'very much single.'

In the same interview, the Taali actress also revealed why she decided to respond to the brutal trolls.

'I respond when I want, if I want. If I don't want to, I won't. But when I believe it is time to speak up or take a stand on something, I do so. The problem is that in social media days, something happens, and here comes the reaction. That's not how I am built. I take my time absorbing, and then I respond to things when I am ready,' Sushmita Sen further added.

The Sushmita Sen and Lalit Modi Controversy

It was last July when Lalit Modi stirred up the internet as he shared intimate pictures of him and Sushmita from their vacation in the Maldives. He announced that he was in a relationship with the actress.


While the Mai Hoon Na actress chose to be silent on the rumors, she responded to the trolls like a boss lady. Taking it to Instagram, she wrote a long post that stated how she was more of a diamond girl and always has been.

On the work front

Sushmita Sen was last seen in the second season of the thriller drama Aarya. She played a fearless single mother after her husband was killed by his business rivals. The series also stars Sikander Kher, Namit Das, and Chandrachur Singh in prominent roles.

Sushmita will be next seen in Taali, a biopic on transgender activist Gauri Sawant. The movie will be streaming on JioCinemas from August 15 onward.
