Sushmita Sen Says She Was Tagged 'Difficult' In 90s, Recalls Been Told, 'Bohot Sawal Jawab Karte Ho'

Sushmita Sen is identified as the gem in Indian cinema. The former Miss Universe has captivated generations of audiences with her charismatic personality, unmatched acting prowess, gorgeous beauty and whatnot. While her professional feat through films doesn’t require any introduction, Sushmita has also won millions of hearts for her efforts towards philanthropy and humanity. For the unversed, she was one of the youngest women in our country to adopt two beautiful daughters, Renee and Alisah.

Sushmita Sen recalls being called referred to as a difficult actress in the 90s

In a recent interaction on Pinkvilla’s Masterclass, Sushmita Sen opened up about the troughs and crests she witnessed in her career back in the 90s. The actress talked about gender-based parity in the film industry and remarked being labelled as ‘difficult’ back then, since she used to ask a lot of questions about work. Adding how women weren’t considered to interact and share queries, Sushmita said:

“Opinionated absolutely, I have faced. But agar aap har cheez ke baare mein agree nahi karte in the 90s, whatever it is. If you as an actress asked for ki role mein karna kya hai, you are difficult as an actor to deal with. Aap bahut jyada sawaal jawaab karte ho. Aurton ko nahi karna chahiye.........Galatfehmi. Sawaal hai jaroor kijiye."

Sushmita reveals the objections she faced for being her true self in the film industry

Continuing with her thread of narration, Sushmita Sen then revealed that she had always remained her true self in the film industry, no matter what. She mentioned not having faked her personality at any given point, and mentioned that she loves being her authentic self. However, when it comes to the competitive field of movies, such a personality trait is not easily acceptable. Talking more along the same lines, Sushmita opened up on the tough situations she faced as a result of her authenticity and revealed:

"If you are authentic, it's not a choice; it's who you are. So it's not like someone has to give you permission or approval to be who you are. If you're a unique person, then you will stand out as a unique person. Is it tough being me? Hell yeah. Of course, it is. I don't deal with it now. I accept it. But I am a very blessed person. My entire life has been spent being famous, so it's been about people, human interactions, opinions, and judgments. But at the end of the day, I have met very few people in this world who are as loved as I am.”

Previously, in an interview with Film Companion, Sushmita spilled beans on marriage and said:

“I know the whole world thinks I should give a damn about, at this stage at least, settling down. I don't give a damn about it. Important to mention it's only because I love and respect the institution of marriage. I do, very much. And I have the blessing of knowing some incredible people, including my (Aarya) director (Ram Madhvani) and my producer (Amita Madhvani), who are one of the most beautiful couples I know."
