In a conversation with Twinkle Khanna for Tweak India, Sushmita Sen opened up about her legal battle during the adoption of Renee. Sharing details of the same, Sushmita said:
“It was just something that I knew I had to do and to do that my last precedent was a 29-year-old divorced woman who was allowed adoption…single but divorced. I am applying at 21, never been married, fertile - all of these are a problem. They would obviously fight it.”
Sushmita, who had got Renee under foster care, recalled the court hearing that had happened 6 months later. Sharing how determined she was in her decision of adopting Renee, Sushmita had told her father:
“So I had told my baba and the driver, ‘Baba, jaise hi bahar niklenge room se, gadi start kro, hum bhag jaenge bachhe ko leke because ye to mazak hai. They can’t say no. She’s almost calling me Ma’.”
