Rohman Shawl recently took to Instagram to mark seven years of knowing Sushmita Sen. His emotional post made people wonder whether they might still be more than just friends. But it was his graceful response to a troll that really caught everyone’s attention.
Troll says he’s ‘in her shadow’
The model posted a black-and-white photo where he’s seen holding Sushmita close. He added a thoughtful note about how their bond has changed over the years but still means a lot to him.But soon after, one Instagram user left a comment that read, “Friend-zoned you are! Just get out of it and own yourself! Individually you can do more than living just as a shadow of Ms Universe!” The comment seemed to suggest that Rohman had lost his individuality by staying close to Sushmita even after their breakup.
Rohman replied with quiet dignity
Rohman didn’t hit back in anger. Instead, he replied saying, “Being associated with someone remarkable doesn’t diminish me; it reflects the kind of people I choose to walk beside. And my love, galaxies don’t cast shadows, they shine together!! Much love.”
Marks 7 years of knowing her
On Monday, Rohman posted a sweet anniversary message for Sushmita. It wasn’t about a romantic relationship, but rather about a bond that has changed over time but stayed strong.In the caption, he shared memories and moments that meant a lot to both of them. He wrote, “We swapped roles, fears, and strengths, and somewhere between checkmates and deep ends, we found a bond that outlived labels. Not lovers, not strangers—something softer, rarer! You were once my safe place and somehow, still are! Grateful for the love we had and the quiet friendship that remained @sushmitasen47.”
Rohman and Sushmita’s relationship
Rohman and Sushmita first connected in 2018, when he messaged her on Instagram. They started dating not long after that. Reportedly, their relationship lasted for around three years and ended in December 2021. Even though they broke up, both of them made it clear that they stayed close friends.Since their split, Rohman and Sushmita have often been spotted together at public events. They also continue spending time with Sushmita’s daughters, Renee and Alisah.
