Sushmita
Sen
is
one
of
the
few
leading
ladies
who
is
an
inspiration
to
many
and
has
been
vocal
about
women
empowerment.
The
actress
has
once
famously
said
that
women
must
buy
their
own
diamonds.
In
her
recent
interaction
with
an
entertainment
portal,
the
Sirf
Tum
actress
emphasized
on
that
statement
again
and
revealed
that
she
does
not
even
let
her
boyfriend
Rohman
Shawl
buy
her
diamonds.
When
Sushmita
was
asked
by
the
news
portal
if
there
is
any
piece
of
diamond
jewellery
gifted
by
Rohman
which
she
holds
close
to
her
heart,
she
replied,
"I
do
not
allow
friends
to
gift
me
diamonds.
That
does
not
happen.
I
buy
them,
I
like
gifting
them."
Revisiting
her
famous
statement
on
women
buying
diamonds
for
themselves,
Sen
continued,
"This
I
hold
to
this
day.
Size
matters
so
that
you
can
let
the
man
know
and
see
that
either
you
match
the
size
of
my
diamond
or
the
size
of
my
heart.
Heart
is
going
to
be
tough
so
work
on
the
diamond
please
and
make
it
bigger
than
this.
It's
important
to
set
benchmarks
for
yourself."
She
also
recalled
the
first
diamond
she
bought
for
herself
and
said
that
it
was
a
ten-cent
diamond
with
a
pure
gold
band
that
had
an
open-ended
thing" that
could
be
adjusted
for
size.
The
actress
said
that
she
soon
graduated
to
22
carat.
Sushmita
is
in
a
steady
relationship
with
model
Rohman
Shawl.
Sometime
back
when
she
was
spotted
wearing
a
ring,
rumours
flew
thick
that
the
couple
has
got
engaged.
However,
the
actress
had
rubbished
those
reports
and
said,
"This
ring
is
to
remind
me
and
all
of
you
that
I
don't
need
a
man
in
my
life
to
have
diamonds.
I
can
own
them
myself."
With
respect
to
work,
the
diva
recently
wrapped
up
the
shooting
for
the
second
season
of
her
web
series
Aarya.
