Sushmita Sen reveals the long legal battle to adopt daughter Renee at the age of 21. During this difficult time, her father gave full support and offered to transfer all his property to his daughter, which became the turning point of the case.
Bollywood actress Sushmita Sen in a recent interview opened up about the adoption process of her first daughter Renee and the long court battle to bring her home. Sushmita told that at that time she was only 21 years old. Despite this, his father supported him in every step.
Sushmita Sen was making this special plan?
Sushmita Sen said, ‘When I was 21 years old, I knew that this is what I had to do. Between the age of 21 to 24, I had done all the preparation… then the legal battle started. During that time, my daughter was in foster care with me, but there was always a fear in my mind that if the decision was not in my favor, they would take her back. That girl had started calling me mother, and I did not want to lose this relationship under any circumstances. I had already made a plan. On the day of the hearing, I told my father, ‘Just keep the car running, if the verdict goes against us, we will run away.’ But father refused and said, ‘Now you are forcing it, nothing like this will happen.’ But at that time there was only one thing in my heart that no one can separate my child from me.

How did Sushmita Sen’s father support her?
Sushmita Sen further said, ‘I am very proud of my father. The children I have in my life are because of him. In our country, to adopt a child, either a father or a father-like man is required. The court had told my father that he would have to prove that he was financially capable of raising the child and he would have to transfer half of his property to her. To this my father replied, ‘I am not a very rich man. Even if you take half of my property, it won’t make much difference. I have come here to transfer my entire property to his mother without any conditions.
The judge had even told my father that no boy from a respectable family would want to marry me, but my father clearly replied that he had not brought me up to become anyone’s wife. After this the judge gave permission, and this moment became the turning point of the entire story.
