Sushmita Sen has always been a role model for many young women. Being the first Indian Woman to win the Miss Universe Title back in 1994, she gave major career goals to every young girl. One of her life changing decision was adopting her first daughter Ren e at the age of 25.This decision of hers changed the way society perceives women. Her image changed from just another model/actress to a strong headed woman who knew what she wanted from life.
Ten years later she adopted her second daughter, Alisah. When her daughter Ren e began her journey in a boarding school in 2013, Sushmita had written a letter to her. Now that she is officially on Instagram, Sushmita shared this letter on her page. The letter gives Ren e some really important lessons to achieve her goal. It reads, ' You are here to fulfil your destiny! Arm yourself with knowledge..it will be your greatest strength one day.' Sushmita also tells her to respect her teachers and be polite enough to request their help.
Sushmita also urges her to work towards her dreams and do one thing that scares her every day. She also tells her to remember that she is courageous and to take chances because they will her grow.
Here's her letter to her daughter-
Her decision to adopt a child also de-stigmatised adoption. She inspired many young people to adopt children. India's youngest single man to adopt a child with Down's syndrome, Aditya Tiwari also says that Sushmita Sen inspired him to adopt a baby at the age of 27.
Sushmita Sen started a charitable organisation called I AM FOUNDATION. The organisation works with five other charitable organisations and works on the principle of 'giving'.
Sushmita Sen's letter has come to light around the same time when a few other celebrities have also published letter to their daughter. Chanda Kochhar recently wrote a letter to her daughter which talked about how her daughter can also achieve everything like Chanda herself did despite being a working mom. After Kochhar it was Narayan Murthy who wrote a letter to his daughter.
