A Glimpse into Sushmita’s Journey

Renee made her acting debut with a short film in 2021, following in her mother’s footsteps. During a discussion at FICCI Hyderabad, Sushmita opened up about her choice to adopt, stating, “The wisest decision I made at the age of 24 was to become a mother. It stabilized my life. People think it was a great act of charity and wonderful action, but it was self-preservation. It was me protecting myself.”
