On January 6, Sushmita hosted a live session on Instagram to interact with her fans and answer their questions. Responding to one of the questions – what respect means to you, Sushmita said that she places respect over love because it means everything to her. The actor opined that when there is no respect, love takes a back seat, and it is temporary. According to her, any relationship that focuses on just love is bound to be temporary.
Sushmita said that love is something, one feels with great intensity, and one falls out of it with the same intensity. However, where there is no respect, love has no meaning. “Love will come and go but if there is respect, love gets a second chance to express itself,” she said.
Sushmita went public with her break-up on December 23. Posting an image with Rohman, she stated that the two began as friends, and remain the same. ”The relationship was long over, the love remains,” she added. Well, it does appear that Sushmita and Rohman will continue to share an amicable bond as the actror, post break-up confirmation, did not remove any pictures, featuring Rohman, from her Instagram.
