# Sushmita Sen dodges marriage question again

Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

Sushmita Sen has sidestepped a fan's question about her marriage plans during an Instagram live session. When asked if she planned to marry, the actor replied in Hindi: "Iss sawal ka jawab aap aur hum dono dhundte reh jayenge" (We'll both keep searching for the answer). The actor has spoken about the topic before. In 2022, she told Twinkle Khanna that she had come close to marriage three times but each fell through, calling it God protecting her. She said she met interesting men but they let her down, and that her children were never a factor in her decision to stay single. Sen was previously in a relationship with model Rohman Shawl, with reports of a split in 2021, and was briefly linked to businessman Lalit Modi.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both NDTV and Times of India report the same facts with identical framing: a celebrity's evasive answer is presented as light entertainment news, without scrutiny or commentary. Neither outlet probes the actor's past remarks about failed relationships or questions why a public figure's marital status remains a recurring topic. The uniform coverage reflects the wire-service-style soft journalism that dominates Indian entertainment reporting, where a star's non-answer is treated as a self-contained story. The next time Sushmita Sen does a live session, the same question will likely resurface.
