Sushmita Sen On Being Called "Gold Digger" After Dating Rumours With Lalit Modi
Sushmita Sen has finally reacted to being labelled a "gold digger" on social media.
Last year, Sushmita Sen made headlines after former IPL chairman Lalit Modi claimed that he is dating the 'Main Hoon Na' actress. After this, the actress was trolled on social media, and she was even labelled a "gold digger". Finally, Sushmita Sen has reacted to the nasty comments she received, and she has also confirmed that she is single as of now. For the unversed, Sushmita Sen had shared a post on Instagram, in which she reacted to the "gold digger" comments, saying she prefers diamonds that she buys for herself.
"I think it's good that those comments came to me and I could define 'gold digger'. An insult is an insult when you receive it, I don't receive it. So it went out of the window. There are certain things that are nobody's business. I don't need to say it's nobody's business but I like the words not your business, it's' so cool. FYI, single as they come I am. And that is also NYOB, none of your business. It's always nice to put it out there, very much single," Sushmita Sen told Zoom.
"When I finally issued a very long comment on it, there were a lot of people from my fraternity, showing up in interviews which I thought was pretty random anyway saying, 'We never expected Sushmita Sen to even respond to that. She didn't even need to.' The idea is my business, I respond when I want if I want if I don't want I won't. But when I believe it is time to speak up or take a stand on something I do so...Problem is in the social media days something happens and here comes the reaction. That's not how I am built. I take my time absorbing and then I respond to things when I am ready," she added.
Last year in July, Sushmita Sen had shared a long note on Instagram along with a photo of herself.
"It’s heartbreaking to see just how miserable & unhappy the world around us is becoming….The so called intellectuals with their idiosyncrasies….the ignorant with their cheap & at times funny gossip. The friends I never had & the acquaintances I’ve never met….all sharing their grand opinions & deep knowledge of my life & character…monetising the ‘Gold Digger’ all the way!!! Ah these geniuses!!! I dig deeper than Gold…and I’ve always (famously) preferred Diamonds!! And yes I still buy them myself," she wrote.
On the work front, Sushmita Sen will next be seen playing a transgender activist Shreegauri Sawant in the upcoming series 'Taali'.
The show has been directed by Ravi Jadhav, and it will stream on JioCinema from August 15.
Sushmita will also be seen in Disney+ Hotstar's 'Aarya Season 3'.
