Sushmita Sen: “Respect means everything to me. I put that above love any day”
Sushmita Sen has said that she values respect over love, adding that any relationship that focuses on simply love will undoubtedly be temporary. Sushmita said this in a response to a fan’s question on her Instagram live on Friday.
On Friday evening, Sushmita, joined by her daughters Renee and Alisah, went live on her Instagram account, interacting with her followers. As she started a Q&A with her fans, one of them asked what respect meant for her.
Sushmita reacted by saying she valued respect more than even love. “Respect means everything to me. I put that above love any day,” she said. She further added, “Because love is something you feel with great intensity and you fall out with the same intensity. There is the movie business and books that take you on a journey of very unrealistic love, where there are no responsibilities and problems.”
Sushmita proceeded to add that without respect, love tends to lose its meaning and for her, love would always be secondary. “But where there’s no respect, love has no meaning. Love will come and go but if there is respect, love gets a second chance to express itself. But if you only focus on love, it will be temporary. If there is no respect, love takes a backseat. That’s how important respect is for me,” she said.
