Sushmita Sen, who won Miss Universe in 1994, made India proud not just with her beauty but also by adopting her first daughter at 24. Even though people questioned her for being a single mom in India, she faced challenges with courage. Sushmita’s life has had its tough times, but she’s shown strength and overcome obstacles. 

Sushmita Sen’s Court Compete Over Airport Authorities Fight

From a recent interview with Sushmita Sen about how hard it was to get her children’s passports since they wanted their dad’s name. Sushmita’s video arguing that in India, no official paper, not even a visa, is made without a father’s name went viral. She struggled to get her daughters’ passports since they kept asking for their dad’s name.

Remembering, “I still had a problem at the airport office.” When I arrived, they questioned, “Nai, pita ka naam?” Hi, buddy. Mai maa hoon. “Nai, nai, yeh nai hoga,” they said.

She also reported that she returned to court and received her favourite letter. The actress said they warned the cops they would be in “contempt of court” if the mother’s name wasn’t listed. It was pure joy, she remarked.

Sushmita Sen’s Father Delivers Bold Courtroom Response During 2000 Adoption Case

She made the brave choice to adopt her first daughter when she was only 24 years old, in the early 2000s. The main thing that was against her was that she was single, young, and fertile. In addition, it was the first time that a young woman who was pregnant asked the court to adopt a child. When Sushmita talked to Twinkle Khanna, she told her about how her dad reacted when the judge asked a shocking question in court. 

Sushmita told Twinkle that the judge had asked her father, Shubeer Sen, if he was worried about her getting married after the adoption and if he agreed with her choice. She told her dad that he knew no dad would be okay with it, but he hadn’t raised his daughter to be a wife. “She has chosen to be a mother, and one thing I know my daughter will do is follow through,” Sushmita had said, with his quote.
