“That day was especially hectic for me. I had flights at 9 a.m., 1:30 p.m., 3 p.m., and 4:30 p.m. I took off at 5 PM, landed at 7:30 PM, reached the venue by 8:30 PM, and was on the ramp by 9:30 PM. I got ready in just 45 minutes, and I did my own makeup because I like doing it myself. Overall, it was a good day and definitely one to remember. I'm happy that everyone loved it. A lot of people messaged me, saying they loved my walk and confidence. No one knew how nervous I really was, but it turned out to be an amazing experience, and everything about that day was just beautiful,” she added.

Yet, her remarkable talent and dedication have made her a respected name in the entertainment world. Ssujata who has also been part of popular projects like Shrikant, Khandaan, Ye Meri Life Hai, Kyaa Hoga Nimmo Kaa and Saraswatichandra began her journey at the tender age of 11, when she started exploring her passion for acting.

My intention was always to give my best in whatever I did, with full concentration and focus," she shares.

This performance opened the doors to a flurry of film offers, from movies to television serials and stage plays. Ssujata embraced these opportunities.

Undeterred, she continued to explore her passion on stage, performing demanding plays like Rashomon, Mansi, Chitkar etc.
Now, with the changing landscape of the entertainment industry, the actress is excited about the new possibilities. "The audience's mentality has changed, and they're now more advanced and open to different subjects. Our industry has also seen significant improvement in terms of technical aspects," she says. As Ssujata looks towards the future, she is eager to dive into various projects, from OTT platforms to musical plays. Her unwavering dedication and desire to explore the depths of her craft are evident.
