Rohman Shawl gives a befitting reply to a troll accusing him of being ‘friend-zoned’ and living in Sushmita Sen’s shadow: 'Being associated with....'

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.
