Sushmita Sen wishes ‘first love’, daughter Renee on birthday: She ‘turns as old as I was, when I had her'

Actor Sushmita Sen’s daughter Renee Sen turned a year older on September 4. On her special day, Sushmita shared a series of photos of her ‘first love’ and recalled that Renee is now the same age as she was when she decided to adopt her.

‘Happpyyyyyy Birthday My First Love!!! Today my baby turns as old as I was, when I had her!!! I look on with great love & pride as she grows into this incredible person…one I can still hear saying “you are my destiny”. We love you Shona @reneesen47. Here’s to your happiness always!!! #duggadugga #Alisah #Maa #partytime,’ she wrote.

Reacting to her mother’s post, Renee wrote, ‘Forever my destiny, I love you Maa! Happy 24th to us.’

Recently, Sushmita had opened up about the struggle she went through to adopt Renee in the 90s. ‘My mother was like, ‘You are a child yourself! What are you talking about, what’s gone wrong with this girl!’ She was furious with me. My father was more patient. He asked, ‘Where is this coming from?’ and I told him, ‘It’s a calling daddy. I am feeling it very strongly,' she said.

'He told me that the calling wasn’t going anywhere, I could do it in a few years. I said if I do get married and someone says no (for a baby), the marriage will break because this is my calling. So let me have a baby first, so no one can question it. My father laughed and said, ‘I don’t know what has happened to her, but she is very convinced,’ Sushmita told Humans of Bombay in an interview.
