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.
