Sushmita Sen, a renowned Indian actress and former Miss Universe, has addressed the criticism and negative comments she faced online following her rumored relationship with Lalit Modi, a wealthy businessman.

The public announcement of their association sparked a wave of online backlash, with some labeling Sen as a "gold digger" due to Modi's vast financial standing. Sen, known for her strong and independent persona, initially refrained from responding to the derogatory remarks. However, in a response to an Instagram post in July 2022, she addressed the "gold digger" accusations with a witty and empowering statement.
In her post, Sen acknowledged the negativity and prejudice she had been subjected to, highlighting the irony of being called a "gold digger" while those criticizing her were monetizing the story by writing articles about her. She asserted her self-worth and independence, emphasizing that she has always earned her own money and has never been reliant on anyone else's wealth.
Sen's response resonated with many, who praised her for her grace and composure in the face of unwarranted criticism. Her message also served as a reminder that women should not be defined by their relationships or financial status.
The incident highlights the societal tendency to make assumptions and judgments based on superficial factors, particularly in the context of celebrity relationships. Sen's reaction demonstrated the importance of self-respect and the power of ignoring negativity.
