Hindustan Times quoted her saying:
“I’m 100% person. When I’m in love, I’m 100%. So, when we leave gracefully, we must do that 100%. Whatever the reason be, your life is not about being in a loop. The truth is incredible because it allows people to remain friends and to be good to each other. The world needs that love. There are enough problems in it already.”
Sen went on to add how dating a public figure puts the partner in the public eye all the time, which isn’t fair.
“For me, closure is a big thing. When you are a public figure, the person involved with you is also in the public eye. Even if the person is there because you have put them there. So, it is not fair for his life or your life to be stuck with everyone feeling something or thinking it’s a relationship.”

Finally, she expressed that closure is important for the two people in a relationship so that they can move on in their lives.
“Closure is important for both people so that they can move on in their lives. And yeah, the friendship always remains. At my age, if I sit and start thinking about the terrible thing, it is really my life that I wasted.”
“I have grown in every relationship. So, it’s a beautiful thing to be able to speak your truth,” she added.
Sushmita Sen has set a brilliant example of how two people can treat each other with dignity even when they’ve decided to part ways.
