July 22, 2024: Bollywood actress Sushmita Sen, a proud single mother to Renee and Alisah, recently shared her thoughts on the importance of having open conversations with children about sex. In a candid discussion with actress Rhea Chakraborty, Sushmita emphasized the need for honest communication with both boys and girls.
Sushmita Sen revealed that she didn’t need to explain the act of sex to her daughters in detail. “They’re already PhDs, all of them are. My younger one is into biology. So, she will get into terms, and I am like, ‘Okay, can we please keep it very generic? We don’t have to discuss the technicalities of it,’” she shared with a smile.
The actress also spoke about the importance of not intervening between her daughters and their friends. She has consistently guided Renee and Alisah to avoid forming relationships due to peer pressure. “You can explore yourself and your desires, there is no problem with that. But, in the end of it, it should not make you feel bad. That is very important. And, don’t do it because someone told you, there was peer pressure, there was friends’ pressure. Nothing, you have to do because you want. The day you do something that you don’t want to, you are already on the wrong path. So whenever you are ready, you want to do something, do it. Do not lie to me,” Sushmita advised.
Sushmita Sen Journey as a Single Mother is inspiring
Sushmita Sen, who chose not to marry, adopted Renee in 2000 and welcomed Alisah into the family in 2010. Her journey as a single mother has been filled with love and independence, setting an example for many.
On the work front, Sushmita Sen was last seen in the JioCinema series “Taali,” which also features Krutika Deo, Ankur Bhatia, and Sheetal Kale. The series has been well-received, adding another feather to Sushmita’s illustrious cap.
