Sushmita Sen's 46th birthday brought us many surprises. The actress reached out to her fans with a "big shout out and a big thank you" on her special day during an Instagram live session. It was dedicated to her Instafam, as she wrote in the caption, "Birthday girl live. Just for you." Sushmita also showed us her new look with short hair. She said, "I am just taking a moment to show you the new me. This is the new me. And, lots to actually share with you on so many fronts but that can wait." Before ending the video, she said, "I hope you like my new hair."
Sushmita Sen, who had surgery recently, also thanked her fans for sending her the "healing energy that God knows I need." She said, "I know when I posted about the surgery, a lot of you panicked. I'm fine, okay. If I wasn't, I would tell you." The actress added, "So have faith that I would always keep you informed when things have to be kept informed, okay. You don't have to worry about it. And, by God's grace, everything went really well. Healing is on and I'll take some time. But I will be back before you know it."
Sushmita Sen's birthday post on November 19 came with shocking news for her fans. The actress had undergone surgery on November 16, after completing the shoot for the web series Aarya 2.

I feel the goodness of all your energies and the strength of your love. Keep it coming."
