Sushmita Sen On The "Endless Questions" She Was Asked Before Adopting Daughter At The Age Of 24

"The questioning and opinions were endless," wrote Sushmita Sen

Sushmita Sen shared a special post on Women's Day. In her post, she talked about the "endless questions" she was asked before she adopted her daughter Renee. Sushmita Sen is a single mom to daughter Alisah - Sushmita adopted Renee in 2000 while Alisah joined the family in 2010. She wrote in her post: "Renee was born from my heart when I was just 24 years old. It was a big decision! Many questioned it. Why adoption? How will you raise a child without being married? Are you ready to be a single parent? You realise the impact this decision will have on your professional and personal life? The questioning & opinions were endless."

Renee made her acting debut with a short film last year. Sushmita Sen added in her post, "And yet, I did what felt right in my heart. I knew I was ready to be a mother. And it turned out to be the best decision I ever made, one so profound...I made it twice!! Now I am blessed with two beautiful daughters: Renee and Alisah. I am who I am because I found the courage to follow my heart...seeking the right guidance, information and support that was needed, when I needed it. I know these biases haven't really stopped. But they shouldn't stop you... This is a reminder to talk about them. Find your answer."
