Sushmita told Mid-day, “Rajat Tara. He is actually one of the nicest… I am actually so glad that he was my first boyfriend, because of the generosity of this man, to this day… He is the father of this beautiful little girl, I was the ‘best man’ at his wedding. He is married to a Serbian lady and she is divine, she wanted me there. Everything about this wedding was special. I went to Belgrade (the capital city of Serbia) for the wedding''.

The 'Taali' actress also said that she didn't ‘dump’ him but ‘outgrew’ him. ''I had outgrown him and he had realised that. He had said to me, ‘I have sat with you and dreamt with you, not so that you end up with me. Go and live your life’. We remain friends. There are no regrets there. To this day, he is the person I’ll call, no matter where he is in the world, and he’ll answer my call and say, ‘Kaun tang kar raha hai, aaun kya? (Who is bothering you, should I come?)’. I’ve been very blessed,'' added Sushmita.
