Ahead of her debut film Suttabaazi dropping online, Renee Sen on why actor-mother Sushmita stayed away from promotions

A star kid's Bollywood launch is surrounded by razzmatazz and an aggressive promotional campaign. Which is why it's refreshing to see Renee Sen make her acting debut with Suttabaazi while Sushmita Sen takes a backseat, thus teaching her daughter the importance of making it on her own. Renee says it was a family decision that her actor-mother wouldn't be rallying behind her debut film.
"When she started off as an 18-year-old, she did everything on her own. She doesn't want me to have it easy so that I value everything more. I appreciate that things aren't handed to me on a silver platter. I am privileged enough being her daughter; that would've made me absolutely handicapped," says the debutant actor, the perks of being a star kid not lost on her.
