Sushmita Sen’s EMOTIONAL chat on braving Addison’s disease: My career was over; it broke my spirit

Sushmita Sen is truly a force to reckon with. A woman of substance who has always believed in the power of humanity, kindness and empathy – Sushmita delivered her career best performance in Taali, a web series inspired from the life of transgender activist and leader Shree Gauri Sawant. The beauty queen joins host Nayandeep Rakshit for the second episode of XtraOrdinary You only on Bollywood Bubble. In this episode, Sushmita beautifully puts across her story – finding an identity of her own, fighting for her survival and then always believing and practising in equality of thoughts. While she reveals that she never prepared for Miss India, she also adds that her honesty set her apart when she represented the country for Miss Universe and became the first ever Indian woman to be crowned. Not just that, as soon as she got into the industry, she shares how she was judged and shamed for the way she is and why people felt she is a misfit in Bollywood. Sushmita also gets emotional about her battle with Addison’s disease which she calls her “emotionally lowest moment that broke her spirit” but adds how she never gave up. Now, with the heart attack again, she puts emphasis on choosing good health and then shares her idea behind adopting her two beautiful kids Renee and Alisah.
