Rohman Shawl recently responded to a social media troll targeting his past relationship with former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen. The interaction unfolded after a comment labeled him as merely a shadow of Sushmita, prompting Rohman to commemorate their seven-year connection with a heartfelt tribute.
Reflection on a Unique Relationship Beyond Labels
In his emotional message marking their anniversary, Rohman shared memories and growth from their time together, saying,
7 years today… Some stories outgrow their titles, but never their meaning!! I taught you chess, you now beat me without mercy… You taught me to swim, dragging a water-phobic soul into the deep end (emotionally and literally)… And how can I not thank you for the best haircuts (sic).
He added,
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 & somehow, still are!!!! Grateful for the love we had & the quiet friendship that stayed @sushmitasen47… Happy anniversary….
Responding to Online Criticism
Following his post, an Instagram user commented,
Friend-zoned you! Just get out of it and own yourself! Individually, you can do more than live just as a shadow of Miss Universe!
Rohman replied with kindness and confidence, 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.

For the anniversary tribute, Rohman shared a black-and-white photo of himself holding Sushmita close, highlighting the strong connection they built after meeting on Instagram in 2018. Their romantic relationship ended in December 2021, but both continue to maintain a friendship.
