She told IANS, "If that means setting an example, then I couldn't be happier. But I am not consciously trying to do things differently. I am just lucky and blessed that everything is falling into place, with however independently I am doing it. I am doing it step by step. It is not a conscious decision to set an example. 'Suttabazi' is a beautiful film and I am lucky to be a part of it."

Earlier in an interview, Sushmita too had opened up about her decision to adopt and said, “In the natural birth, the mother and the child connect through the umbilical cord but in adoption, the mother and the child are connected by this higher power, a connection that you cannot cut off. I have had the privilege of experiencing it twice. To become a mother who has given birth from the heart. I have not missed a day of feeling the joy of motherhood.”

Talking about her decision to make a short film, Renee shared, "'Suttabaazi' is a relatable story for every household. The simplicity with which an important message is being conveyed of not seeking validation from the outside world is what truly attracted me. I hope everyone relates to this because it is so close to my heart."

Sushmita, who recently made a comeback with the web series Aarya, is dating model Rohman Shawl, and the couple with her daughters Renee and Alisah, had spent the lockdown together in wake of the coronavirus pandemic. Currently, Renee is holidaying with her family of four in Dubai.
