Sushma Ahuja is an Indian people director, writer and actor who has worked on Hindi, English and Tamil films and plays.
Sushma regularly helped work on Hindi versions of Tamil films, often transliterating dialogues. She was also credited for assisting actress Sridevi in her transition to work in Hindi films by helping her with Hindi dialogues.
Sushmaa has been credited as an actress, writer and director in films. Notably, she directed an animated series titled Tara Ki Duniya for DD Metro, and Uyirodu Uyiraga (1998), a romantic drama featuring Ajith Kumar and her daughter Richa Ahuja. The film released to positive reviews, with a critic noting that the film was "a clean movie with no masala stuff" but criticized the "weak story-line". Another critic drew particular praise to the role of Srividya, claiming the film was "a pleasant experience, the crowds cheered Srividya almost as much as Ajith". The film failed commercially, with Sushma Ahuja blaming the result on poor promotion. She has worked on the script for films including Little John (2001) and Ek Alag Mausam (2003). Her acting roles include appearances in M. Night Shyamalan's English film Praying with Anger (1992) and Sridevi's television series Malini Iyer (2004).
