On the work front, Sushmita will be next seen in a series, Taali, which is set to release on the OTT platform on August 15, 2023. However, after suffering serious health conditions, Sushmita resumed her work and completed the shoot of her last released web series, Aarya. In the same conversation, Sushmita talked about portraying the role of a transgender activist, Shreegauri Sawant and how she feels the character is empowering. The actress shared:
“It was very empowering. And I am hoping that the honesty with which I have tried to portray the story of Gauri Sawant’s life, that honesty comes through, because it’s a tribute more than a performance, not just to her but to the whole community."
A while back, Sushmita launched a new collection of watches by luxury atelier, Nebula by Titan, inspired by the architecture and style of the Art Deco Era. Thus, while talking about her new association, the actress shared from where the inspiration to do the same has come. She mentioned how her father kept a Bengali nickname for her during her childhood, which carried a similar meaning to that of the watch brand, Titan. In Sushmita's words:
“I have a very special story to share, actually. My father, before he named me Sushmita, gave me a pet name, something Bengalis often do - Tee-tan, which is spelled exactly as Titan and means exactly what Titan means - something important and powerful and courageous. And so my father wanted that for me and named me that. So, one of the earlier gifts I got was a Titan watch from my father. I love watches with big dials. For me, that is also very empowering as a woman. And I am somebody who doesn’t like to dress up with a lot of different accessories in my personal life unless I’m doing a film. I like it simple. So, when you have a watch that gives you all that and makes sure you’re always on time, I think that’s it.”
