Reflecting on her relationship with a married man, Sushmita shared her perspective with honesty.

"His wife and he were not living together. I can’t condemn a man or make him feel guilty if he had a bad marriage. I don’t have anything against his ex-wife or his daughter. Some things aren’t meant to be. I don’t feel guilty because I have done something very openly. He was in a divorce when I met him, and I wasn’t going to wait to tell the world that I love him just because he hadn’t got through the divorce yet." She said.

Despite the ups and downs, she remains committed to living life on her own terms, and she continues to encourage others to do the same. Her openness about her experiences is a testament to her strength and individuality.
