As Bollywood gears up for the release of Aarya: Antim Vaar, Sushmita Sen, the powerhouse of talent, took a moment to share insights into her character Aarya and the show's unique portrayal of 'stree shakti' or women's power. In an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla, Sen delved into the modern understanding of strength encapsulated by Aarya.

Aarya: A Modern Understanding of Stree Shakti

Sushmita Sen, known for her stellar performances over the years, expressed her fondness for the character of Aarya. In response to whether Aarya's strength resonates closely with her own, Sen affirmed, "Aarya is very dear to me, yes. I think Aarya is a very modern understanding of stree shakti (women's power)."

The actress emphasized that the show, set in the present, reflects a narrative that may not have been possible in earlier times. "It is the right time to make it," she remarked, highlighting the contemporary relevance of the storyline. Sen further praised the strength embodied by Aarya and the ensemble of characters within the narrative.

The Journey to Aarya's Strength

In a previous interview with IANS, Sushmita Sen shed light on the physical preparation for her role in Aarya: Antim Vaar.

The official trailer of Aarya: Antim Vaar, released last month, garnered positive responses, setting the stage for an anticipated third season of the series. The show features an ensemble cast including Sikander Kher, Ila Arun, Indraneil Sengupta, Vikas Kumar, and others.
