Sen, meanwhile, recently posted images from her Maldives holiday. With her daughters, she had traveled to the island country. According to Modi’s declaration, he may have traveled with the former Miss Universe as well. Sushmita talked about her decision to postpone marriage and the factors that contributed to it last month. She disclosed that she almost got married three times, but “God saved” her each time.
Sushmita previously dated the model Rohman Shawl, whom she first connected with on Instagram in 2018. They split up last year. “We were friends before, and we are still friends! The love endures,” she had written in a post on her Instagram account. The romance was long over.
