For the unversed, Alisah is currently studying in a Swiss Boarding School. Interestingly, Sushmita never got married and is raising both her adopted daughters singlehandedly. Last year while speaking to ETimes, she busted the misconception about single mothers. Sen shared, “There is an imbalance if they grow up without a father. Fathers are important, but like everything else in life, you don’t miss what you never had. So, the concept is different.”
In one such another interview with Siddharth Kannan, Sushmita Sen was asked whether her daughters miss a father figure to which she was quick to say ‘no’. She re-asserted that people can only miss what they once had and the babies never had a father.
Sen added, “Now when I suggest to them that I should get married, they will be like, ‘What? For what? I don’t want a father’. But I may want a husband, it may have nothing to do with you! So we joke about that a lot.” Sushmita says that at times when they need a father figure in their life, Renee and Alisah have Sushmita’s dad and their grandfather. “That is everything for them.”
The 48-year-old adopted her eldest daughter Renee in 2000. On the work front, Sushmita has been on a hiatus from the big screen since she last appeared in 2010’s film No Problem. However, she has successfully ventured into the OTT space thereafter and starred in several projects including Aarya and Taali.
