During the event, Sushmita Sen had clarified that how adopting her two angels, Renee Sen and Alisah Sen was not an act of charity. Sushmita, speaking about embracing motherhood, had shared that though she might not be the biological mother of her daughters, she has given birth to them from the heart. She was quoted as saying, “In the natural birth, the mother and the child connect through the umbilical cord but in adoption, the mother and the child are connected by this higher power, a connection that you cannot cut off. I have had the privilege of experiencing it twice. To become a mother who has given birth from the heart. I have not missed a day of feeling the joy of motherhood.”
Sushmita Sen had further spoken about how proud she is of her 24-year-old self for making the wisest decision of adopting little angel, Renee Sen. She had added further, “The wisest decision I made at the age of 24 was to become a mother. It stabilised my life. People think it was a great act of charity and wonderful action but it was self-preservation. It was me protecting myself.” She had added, “Doing something that encompasses your heart, your calling always makes sure that you stay true to your DNA and who you are. Yes, the tough part was to do that at the age of 24-year-old when I was at the top of my game in my career. Being an actress is a challenging job. It is a very self-centred job. You have to be all about yourself. Your vanity has to be at its highest for you to be successful. But I am proud of the 24-year-old because I could have delayed the process, ignore the calling but I didn’t do that.”
Sushmita Sen concluded the speech by giving the entire credit to her daughters, saying that it is amazing to feel that they are choosing her back. Sushmita had said, “The rest of it I give credit to my children because the truth is I chose them, they didn’t choose me. They didn’t have a say in it. Now, when my Renee is almost 20 and Alisah is 10, I get a feeling that they are choosing me back, which is a great feeling.” (Do Read: Paras Chhabra's Girlfriend, Akanksha Puri Opens Up About Her And Sidharth Shukla's Love Affair)
