Sushmita Sen boyfriends: Sushmita Sen’s 50th birthday on November 19, 2025 has been celebrated across social media with a wave of nostalgia, admiration and renewed fascination for the woman who made history at just 18. Her Miss Universe victory in 1994 redefined India’s place on the global pageant stage.
While her career has continued to evolve over three decades, her personal life has always attracted equal attention, especially her decision to stay unapologetically single. On her milestone birthday, curiosity has once again turned to the many high-profile relationships Sushmita has had, and the grace with which she’s navigated them.
Rohman Shawl
Her most recent and widely discussed romance was with model Rohman Shawl. The two dated for over four years before announcing their separation in December 2021. In her heartfelt Instagram note, Sushmita wrote, "We began as friends, we remain friends!! The relationship was long over… the love remains!!” The dignified tone reflected the mutual respect that has often defined her breakups.
Vikram Bhatt
Before Rohman, Sushmita shared a close bond with filmmaker Vikram Bhatt, whom she met while filming Dastak. The relationship was intensely discussed in the early 2000s, becoming one of the most talked-about Bollywood pairings of the time.
Lalit Modi
In 2022, Sushmita briefly dated businessman Lalit Modi, who publicly announced their relationship with photos and a declaration of affection on social media. However, the romance ended as swiftly as it began, though both moved on amicably.
Wasim Akram
Her name has also been linked with several other well-known personalities, including former Pakistani cricketer Wasim Akram, with whom she co-judged Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena in 2008. Both later clarified that they were simply friends.
Randeep Hooda
Actor Randeep Hooda was also reportedly in a relationship with her for a few years in the mid-2000s. Another long-term chapter was her relationship with nightlife entrepreneur Ritik Bhasin, which reportedly lasted four years.
Other names that have surfaced over the years include Sabeer Bhatia, Bunty Sajdeh, Imtiyaz Khatri, and filmmaker Mudassar Aziz.
Despite the headlines, Sushmita has repeatedly chosen independence, raising her daughters on her own terms while focusing on her work.
