Sushmita Sen's daughter Renee Sen is all set for her acting debut and she's expectedly gung-ho about the same. In an interview recently, she spilled the beans on her surname, how it comes with a huge responsibility, and how Sushmita reacted when she came to know her daughter wants to act.

While speaking to Hindustan Times, she said, "I'm not running away from my surname. I know it comes with a lot of responsibility and the love I'm getting is because of my mother, the kind of work she has done."
She added, "But I'm not taking the pressure or else I won't be able to do a single day's job. And, I'll never take it for granted, nor will I allow anybody else to take it for granted." When asked about her mother's reaction on her decision to act, Sen had something to reveal.
She said, "Maa said you want to act, you figure it out. So I'm doing it step-by-step. If it's easy, would I have valued it enough? I don't think so. I'm aware of the uncertainties of this profession. Maa tells me to keep grounded, complete my education so that 'No one can tell you, you're less than anybody and you don't make anybody feel like that'."
She added, "I want to be self made. I'll approach directors, show Suttabaazi (her short film) and request them to consider me for their projects." Given the debate around Nepotism that has been going on in the industry for the last few years, Renee Sen gave her take and what she feels about it.
She stated, "When I watched my mother act, it was inspiring, and I wanted to do this even before I knew the word nepotism. We all look up to our parents. Is following your parents' footstep nepotism? There's glamour attached to the industry, so people are more interested about how it functions, that's why there's a little more attention on showbiz."
