Sushmita Sen shocked the world as she adopted her first child, Renee, as a single mother in the year 2000, when she was just 25. Ten years later, the actress and Miss Universe winner adopted a second girl child, Alisah.

Why did it take Sushmita 10 years to adopt her second child? Because the law says, when you already have one girl child, you cannot adopt another. She actually went to court for both her girls.
