In an old interview, Sushmita had talked about being a single parent, and had stated, "Being a single mother is not easy. It's very romantic, but its not easy. Yes, that's true (went to court for my first daughter). I was 24-years-old and I had been trying since I was 22 to become a mom by the process of adoption. And they didn't allow it. It took us a while and we got the custody for my baby."
However, it was the second adoption that was her biggest fight. She had shared in the same interview, "But the second child was actually a bigger court fight than the first one. Because in India, the rules said that you could not adopt a daughter after a daughter. You have to adopt a son. And I wanted to adopt a daughter, so 10 years I fought and then my Alisah came. It was a long wait." (Don't Miss: Charu Asopa Sen And Rajeev Sen's Passionate Liplock At Their Dreamy European Honeymoon Is Beautiful)
