Director Ram Madhvani’s saga of feudal drug lords set somewhere in the Rajasthan heartland is a nail-biter, its storyline taut and gripping. It is supported by a star cast that reads like a dream. Sushmita Sen lends her brand of a hard-as-nails avenger-mother, vulnerable and dangerous at the same time. Sushmita is a seasoned actress and the role of Aarya Sareen suits her to a T. To be able to transform herself from a naive, gullible wife of a pharma company owner to a scheming and manipulative killer drug lord is a quantum leap which only a wounded tigress like Sushmita can.

She survives in a literal jungle, peppered with mine fields and betrayals from even her blood relatives. To navigate her way through, she has to resort to every trick in the book. From turning tables onto lawmakers to bringing erstwhile loyal servants back into the fold, this tale of pride, loyalty, greed and lust for power is addictive, Sushmita being the stellar attraction.

Sushmita Sen is the best choice for Aarya because her fierce personality aptly resonates with her on-screen character. In Indian culture, a woman is often equated with Goddess Durga, revered for her marvellous strength and divine powers. Keeping up with traditional ideas, the character of Aarya Sareen is finely ingrained with the remarkable qualities of a woman, particularly her valour, inspiring her to exact revenge on her husband’s assassins along with protecting her young children from their malignant schemes. As a single mother both on and off screen, Sushmita highlights the struggles of her character, attacking the irrational beliefs plaguing society with her excellent one-liners. Her impactful screen presence literally lights the series, thrilling the audience with her best-ever performance.

Aarya is a tough lady. At the same time, she holds a soft, innocent heart full of empathy. She is a good friend, protective, friendly, caring mother, who acts like a tigress for her children’s safety. Sushmita Sen is a perfect fit for this role with her strong personality. It seems that this character is written for her. Her look, fitness, expressive eyes, attitude, style, every small detail looks natural. In this series, she portrays a character of a mother of three children of different ages. She is a mother in real life from a very young age. The fear, anxiety, courage and cruelty of the character is very smoothly portrayed. Aarya is a reflection of a super power and somehow Sen’s personality soothingly matches with this character. So yes, Sushmita Sen is the best choice for the character.

If you have followed Aarya from Season 1, you just cannot leave her in Season 3. With Aarya, Sushmita Sen makes her debut in a web series that is engrossing, thrilling and violent. She continues her legacy in her own elegant way. She smashes in the action scenes in Aarya. In Aarya, she portrays a perfect balance of morality and ethics with her natural acting.

No doubt, Sushmita Sen is the best choice for Aarya. The beautiful and talented actress played the titular character in the popular Disney+ Hotstar crime drama series, with which Sushmita not only made her comeback to actiing but also her digital debut. The grace, the intelligence, the confidence, the determination and the sharpness Sushmita has in herself has made her, according to me, the perfect choice among Bolly actresses to portray Aarya. And Sushmita is fully successful in convincingly and brilliantly essaying the role. She earned immense love of viewers and critics’ praise alike for her work in Aarya, winning multiple awards for her efforts.
