Speaking to ETimes, Mahesh Bhatt revealed that he has a lot of respect for Sushmita Sen for her ability to be brave. He said, ‘I will always remember him fondly. She is an unusual girl. What I salute him for is that he has lived his life on his own terms. They have the courage to live as they wish. I believe that in the second decade of the 21st century, we should give human beings the right to live life on their own terms. If you don’t want someone else to impose their ideas and beliefs on you and let you live your life, then you shouldn’t do the same to anyone else. I think she has always been someone who has listened to her heart and lived her life on her own terms.
