Sushmita Sen is currently basking in the positive reception for her latest web series ‘Taali.’ In a recent interview with the Instagram account Humans of Bombay, the actress opened up about her idea of love and how it's not about projecting but to “love another is to love yourself.” Sushmita also talked about how she considers her freedom to be a very important aspect of her life overall.
When asked whether she tends to seek validation like so many women out there, she said, “So the idea that I have been able to find happiness in this space is because I am also built that way. I believe in… nothing in life is more important than my freedom... very important to me. My freedom to be who I am, to choose the voice I want to speak with... I was 18 once and the world was all about ‘somebody will complete me’ kind of scenario. I am complete in myself. If someone can help enhance that feeling of completion, that would be lovely. I don't need that for completion. When you need validation you must have the courage to stand in front of the mirror. That's the only validation you need.”
In the same interview, Sush also talked about how she defines love and said, “Oh its everything. Its what I am made of, that's how closely I associate with that word. It is not that love that you project or feel but the love you are. That to me is love, that everything you do in your life with that ‘who you are’ feeling. So to even love another is to love yourself. There is that self love that I speak of… is on a cellular level.”
Sushmita plays the role of Shreegauri Sawant in the web series ‘Taali,’ which is based on the life and struggles of a transgender activist.
