Among the many topics discussed for Tweak India, Sushmita Sen and Twinkle Khanna also touched upon the subject of the former’s adopted daughters, Renee and Alisah, Sushmita had adopted her elder daughter, Renee Senway back in 2000 and her second girl, Alisah Sen, was brought into her fold 10 years later. This particular part of their no-holds-barred chat through revolved around how a judge no less passed a shockingly regressive and stereotypical statement about her marriage prospects after adoption.
Sushmita Sen recalls the time she adopted Renee
Recounting the time she adopted Renee, Sushmita Sen told Twinkle Khanna, “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. Renee came to me under foster care and 6 months after that the court hearing happened. 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.’”
Judge asked this regressive question to Sushmita Sen’s father
Elaborating on the court hearing for adopting Renee, Sushmita Sen said that she had tears in her eyes, profusely assuring the judge that she’d fulfill all her duties and responsibilities as a mother to the optimum, when, out of the blue said judge asked her father if he was fine with her decision as it’d affect her marriage prospect as also the rest of her life, according to him. As a man who’s raised his daughter to live life on her own terms, Sushmita’s father, Shubeer Sen, replied that while no father would want to see the chances of his daughter’s marriage being affected, he had never modeled her to just be someone’s wife. After further convincing, the judge was finally won over.
