‘I met some very interesting men in my life, the only reason I never got married is they were a let down’: Sushmita Sen

Sushmita Sen, who recently announced break up with her long-time boyfriend Rohman Shawl, has said in an interview that despite meeting “some very interesting men” in her life, the only reason she “never got married is they were a let down.”

Sen, who won the prestigious Miss Universe pageant in 1994, was speaking with Twinkle Khanna in a Tweak India interview.


When asked about her thoughts on marriage, she said, “Luckily, I met some very interesting men in my life, the only reason I never got married is because they were a let down.”

Sen, who made her acting comeback with Disney+ Hotstar’s critically and commercially successful series Aarya, is the mother of two adopted daughters.

Talking further, she said that her not getting married had nothing to do with my kids. “It had nothing to do with my kids. My kids were never in the equation. If at all, they have been very gracious. Both my kids have accepted people in my life with open arms, and never made a face. They have given everybody an equal measure of love and respect. It's the most beautiful thing to watch,” she added.

“I don't want anybody to come and share the responsibilities but never try and ask me to step away from it,” she said.

Sen said that she came close to getting married thrice, but God saved her every time. “I came close to getting married thrice, all three times God saved me. I can't tell you what disasters followed with their respective lives. God protected me, also because God is protecting these two kids. He can’t let me get into a messy affair,” she concluded.

Despite calling it quits with Rohman Shawl, the two have been very cordial with each other. Shawl even joined her to celebrate the 28 years of her Miss Universe pageant win.

The Kerala actress assault case explained: How it is changing industry culture in Malayalam cinema

Highlights:

  • February 2017: Actress abducted and sexually assaulted; case reported the next day.
  • Legal journey: Trial ran nearly nine years, with witnesses turning hostile and evidence disputes.
  • Verdict: Six accused convicted; actor Dileep acquitted of conspiracy in December 2025.
  • Industry impact: Led to WCC, Hema Committee report, and exposure of systemic harassment.
  • Aftermath: Protests, public backlash, and survivor’s statement questioning justice and equality.

You arrive in Kochi, and it feels like the sea air makes everything slightly sharper; faces in the city look purposeful, a film poster peels at the corner of a wall. In a city that has cradled a thriving film industry for decades, a single crime on the night of 17 February 2017 ruptured the ordinary: an abduction, a recorded sexual assault and a survivor who reported it the next day. What happened next is every woman’s unspoken nightmare, weaponised into brutal reality. It was a public unpeeling of an industry’s power structures, a slow-motion fight over evidence and testimony, and a national debate about how institutions protect (or fail) women.

For over eight years, her fight for justice became a mirror held up to an entire industry and a society. It was a journey from the dark confines of that car to the glaring lights of a courtroom, from being a silenced victim to becoming a defiant survivor whose voice sparked a revolution. This is not just the story of a crime. It is the story of what happens when one woman says, "Enough," and the tremors that follow.
