Sushmita Sen is currently gearing up for the release of her upcoming series, 'Taali.' The recently released teaser of 'Taali' has garnered widespread acclaim, particularly for Sushmita Sen's remarkable depiction of transgender activist Shreegauri Sawant. Nonetheless, in a recent interview, Sushmita candidly disclosed her experience of facing substantial trolling upon the release of her initial look from the series, shedding light on its impact on her.
Speaking to News18, the actress said, "The first poster of Taali that I had released had half my face and the clap. I remember that in the comment section, there were lots of nameless people as social media is full of, writing ‘chhakka’ repeatedly. I thought, how can they do that to me?"
She added, "I took it very personally because it was happening on my timeline. I, of course, blocked all of them. But it hit me that if that’s how it’s making me feel when I’m only portraying Gauri Sawant’s life, they’re living with it every breathing moment of their life."

The actress further went on to say, "I thanked my stars that I had this opportunity to change this somehow. The only thing that god has given me and blessed my life with are people who love me with all their heart. I know this and I’ve known this for three decades now. I thought that if I can be a medium through which the love that people have for me can be passed on to a community that has longed and ached for it, they deserve to be have it."
