About Sushmita and her kids

Sushmita, who won the Miss Universe title in 1994, became a single mother at 24. She adopted Renee in 2000. In 2010, Sushmita adopted her second daughter, Alisah. Renee made her acting debut with a short film in 2021.

During an interaction at FICCI Hyderabad a few years ago, Sushmita spoke about the decision to adopt the girls. She had said, “The wisest decision I made at the age of 24 was to become a mother. It stabilised my life. People think it was a great act of charity and a wonderful action, but it was self-preservation. It was me protecting myself.”
