New Delhi: Sushmita Sen made her first public appearance since surviving a heart attack earlier this month during Lakme Fashion Week in Mumbai. During the exit from the arena, she was seen walking next to Rohman Shawl. Sushmita and Rohman, who reportedly ended their relationship, are still friends.
Sushmita is seen walking at the event in a yellow lehenga in a video posted by a paparazzi account while surrounded by fans and reporters. Rohman, wearing a white blazer, stood next to her.
Sushmita posed for fans and took selfies with them before leaving. Also, she briefly interacted with photographers present at the venue.
Sushmita appeared for designer Anushree Reddy wearing the same yellow outfit. She posted a video from the show and wrote,“Tere Bas Mein Kujh Vi Nahi Ae… Dil Nu Eh Samjhawan… Tu Jhoom Jhoom Jhoom Jhoom. A walk to remember… I celebrate life… Jhoom!! Thank you @anushreereddydesign and team for this memorable walk back to life… your designs are as beautiful as your heart… to the live audience and the media… THANK YOU for all the love and goodness!!! I love you guys!!!"
Later, when she was driving home, she hosted a live session while talking about her experience.
“I just finished walking for the incredible Anushree Reddy as her showstopper at the Lakme Fashion Week. Thank you to all members of the media who were so kind and loving. I am a very blessed girl and I keep saying this,” she said.
“I am really feeling so happy because thanks to Anushree, who had the courage to ask me to come and walk and be her showstopper. I think most people would have just been like, now, it's not a good time. I tell you…women…It's beautiful when we stand by each other and bring out the best even in the most trying times. That’s beautiful,” she added.
Two days after having a heart attack, on March 2, Sushmita talked about it.
