Rohman Shawl responds to troll
One Instagram user commented on Rohman’s “7th anniversary” post and wrote, “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!”

Without losing his composure, Rohman responded, “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.”
On Monday, Rohman shared a black-and-white photo of himself holding Sushmita close. Alongside the picture, he penned a heartfelt note to mark their seventh anniversary of knowing each other. He reflected on how some relationships evolve beyond labels yet retain deep meaning.
Recalling special memories, he shared that while he once taught Sushmita how to play chess, she now beats him effortlessly. In turn, she taught him to swim—both literally and emotionally—helping him overcome his fears. He also fondly mentioned her role in giving him some of the best haircuts.
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.”
