The dynamic world of Bollywood often buzzes with speculations and rumors, but few celebrity relationships have garnered as much attention as that of Sushmita Sen and her ex-boyfriend Rohman Shawl. Despite their publicized breakup two years ago, the duo continues to be spotted together at various events, fueling continuous speculation about their relationship status. However, in a candid discussion, Sushmita Sen herself clarified the truth behind these ongoing rumours.
Bollywood star and former Miss Universe, Sushmita Sen, addressed her current relationship status amidst persistent rumours about her rekindled romance with Rohman Shawl during a podcast hosted by Rhea Chakraborty. “I have no man in my life. I’ve been single for a while. It has been almost two years since I have been single, to be precise since 2021… I am not in a relationship. I have some incredibly wonderful people in my life who are my friends and they are all just waiting for a moment for me to call them and say, ‘Look, I’m pulling the car out, get in the backseat. We’re driving to Goa,” she openly shared.
Sushmita further elaborated on how content she is with her life free from romantic ties. “I am not even interested in anyone at the moment. It is lovely to take a break because I was in a relationship for almost five years. And that was a long time,” said the 47-year-old actress, highlighting the joy and peace she finds in her current single status.
The conversations spiraled back to 2021, a critical year when Sushmita had announced her breakup with Rohman Shawl via an Instagram post. The couple, who started dating in 2018, made it clear that their romantic relationship had come to an end. Sen wrote, “We began as friends, we remain friends! The relationship was long over…
. The love remains.” The amicable tone of her message left a powerful impression on her followers and fans, underscoring the maturity and enduring respect that marked their relationship.
Despite their breakup, Rohman Shawl continues to be a frequent presence in Sushmita’s life. Whether it’s at social events, public gatherings, or private family moments with Sushmita’s daughters, Rohman’s proximity has led many to question if the two might find their way back to one another. However, Sushmita’s statements make it abundantly clear: the relationship remains one of deep friendship and mutual respect, but no more than that.
A recent incident that caught the public’s eye further stoked the ‘will they, won’t they’ debate. Social media was set ablaze with a video showing Sushmita Sen being swarmed by enthusiastic fans seeking selfies. In a protective gesture, Rohman Shawl was seen stepping in to guide Sushmita to her car safely before also entering the vehicle. These moments of care and consideration have led fans to label them as ‘couple goals,’ a sentiment perhaps more reflective of public desire rather than the reality expressed by the individuals involved. Here’s a glimpse of how fans react to their cherished moments:

Instances like these often serve as fodder for tabloids and gossip columns, but they also reveal something more profound about relationships in the public eye. For Sushmita Sen, navigating public scrutiny about her personal life is par for the course. Despite the robust interest in her relationship status, Sen appears untouched by such speculations, choosing instead to focus on her career, family, and closest friends.
She stands as a figure of independence, not just because of her achievements on-screen but also through her life choices, including adopting two daughters, Renee and Alisah, as a single parent. The narrative she shares positions her as a woman who values meaningful connections, not desperate for romantic validation.
As she continues to make headlines, whether through her acting projects or her appearances at public events, one thing remains crystal clear: Sushmita Sen knows her own mind. Rumors will ebb and flow, and fans may continue to speculate about her romantic life with Rohman Shawl or anyone else. But Sen holds the narrative of her life in her own hands. For now, her words underscore a status quo of single contentment, friendship, and unshakable independence.
So, while the silhouette of Sushmita and Rohman together may continue to inspire ‘couple goals’ hashtags, it is pivotal to respect the clarity provided by Sen herself. Her life, as of now, is one of single bliss, marked by friendships that enrich her world without the complication of romantic entanglements.
