MUMBAI: Sushmita Sen's daughter Renee has shared that getting work on her own merit helps her 'sleep at night'. If she succeeds with her mom's help, that success would not be hers. Renee made her debut with Suttabaazi, a short film on Disney+ Hotstar this year.

In an interview, Renee said that the actress was 'in tears' after watching the film, and was supportive even when she told her that she'd have to smoke for the film. Sushmita adopted Renee in 2000.

Renee shared, "When I turned 18, my mom told me one thing: 'From today, all your successes and failures are yours'. There were days, yes, when I thought I want to take the easy way out, but it's really not worth it."

About her family's reaction to the film, she said, "Alisah (sister) will tell me, 'you're growing up now, I'm so happy'. But seriously, she has a really balanced view for everything. She won't get too excited, or too disappointed. In her heart, I don't know what's happening. She may be jumping and all of that... Rohman uncle (Sushmita's boyfriend) also, even with him, he won't say much, but when he says (something), it really means a lot. He was really happy as well."
