As per the interview with Dr Sheen Gurrib on YouTube, Sushmita Sen had started the process when she was just 21 years old, and she had already put her daughter into foster but she was too scared that the final judgement would not be in her favour and they would take away her daughter.
Sushmita Sen revealed that she had taken her father for the final hearing and out of fear losing her kid, she also asked her father if she could run away with the child, which her dad clearly disapproved of. Sushmita Sen also elaborated on how as per the rules, a father figure or a father was of utmost importance in adoption, and therefore her father was also asked to assure financial support and sign off half of his asset.
