Sushmita Sen recalls being called a bad influence in the 90s
In an interview with Film Companion, Sushmita Sen opened up about the time when she was considered a bad influence back in the 1990s. When the actress was asked if there were any repercussions to being ‘bindaas’ in the film industry back then, she gave an affirmative response. Talking about the same, Sushmita said:
“There were repercussions. In the 90s… because back then it was a much more closeted society so for you to speak your mind and to say anything that you believed in was like… she is bad influence, don’t get her in front of our kids and everyone else.”
