Susmita Mukherjee: Sold My Soul Doing C-Grade Films To Clear Rs 1 Crore DebtMUMBAI-Veteran actress Susmita Mukherjee has revealed that she took up C-grade films during one of the toughest phases of her life to repay a Rs 1 crore loan after the production company she co-owned with her husband went bankrupt more than two decades ago. “Someone asked me, ‘Ma’am, why did you act in bad films?’ I was shocked because it’s a very disturbing thing to go back to my life and say, why did I act in such sexist, C-grade films, films derogatory to women. But I worked in good films, not pornography, God, but just bad films, bad choices. I still don’t feel good about it, but it was my helplessness,” she said.
