Actress Sushmita Sen, who had suffered a heart attack during the filming of the third season of her hit streaming show ‘Aarya’, elaborated on how the environment and set-up on shoot helped her ease into the process.
‘Aarya’ is synonymouswith strength, someone who can command a storm and be one too. However, Sushmita Sen, who plays this character is no less fierce. After a deadly health scare, Sushmita jumped right back into the shoes of Aarya Sareen.
Opening up about returning to the sets of the show, Sushmita said: “I was itching to get back to work and I believe the longer you sit and ponder about a situation, you give it the chance to engulf you. The only way to move past any life challenge is to keep forging ahead and all I needed was the green light from my doctor to proceed.”

Actress Sushmita Sen shared her thoughts about her on-screen brother-sister bond with Ankur Bhatia, portrayed in ‘Aarya’, saying Rakshabandhan is a celebration where you embrace ‘imperfect’ bond, promise to be each other’s strength in tough times
From having each other’s backs to fighting over the silliest things, brother-sister bond experiences all emotions possible. One such complex aspect of the relationship we witnessed in the fan-favorite series ‘Aarya’. While Aarya (Sushmita) and Sangram (Ankur) do not share the perfect brother-sister relationship, the love and care for one another remain unwavered.
Opening up about the same, Sushmita said: “Sibling relationships are very difficult to put into words. They fight, they make-up, they fight again, it’s a vicious cycle that we all enjoy going through. The bond between Aarya and Sangram is not the ideal one but what I love about their relationship is that they have accepted their bitter...

We have many films and television shows that have had male or female actors play the role of a trans man or a trans woman, and in most cases, they have aced it. The notable ones are Sadashiv Amrapurkar in Sadak, Vijay Sethupathi in Super Deluxe, Kalidas Jayaram in Paava Kadhaigal, and Kubra Sait in Sacred Games. We have never had anyone tell the story of a prominent transgender activist who has faced severe hardships and managed to help the downtrodden. We are talking about Shreegauri Sawant, a prominent figure who fought for the rights of transgender community in India. Keeping her story in mind, writer Kshitij Patwardhan, director Ravi Jadhav, and creators Arjun Singgh Baran and Kartik D Nishandar give the audience Taali, a six-episode mini-series about her life. The question remains: Was Taali a good attempt to showcase her struggle?

Director Ritam Srivastav, who is awaiting the release of his web series ‘Rafuchakkar’, recalled an incident when the shooting in Uttarakhand coincided with a procession. However, the director shared that the attendees were kind enough to help them with the logistics of the shoot.
The web series has been shot in multiple locations across the country — Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Nainital, Delhi, Udaipur and Alwar — where actor Maniesh Paul has donned his multiple looks.
Srivastav told Ians, “We were shooting in Nainital on June 15 last year, which also happened to be the foundation day of Kainchi Dham Neem Karoli Baba Ashram and the entire city was filled with the Baba’s followers, with 7-8 lakh people gathering there to seek his blessings. It was difficult to shoot.
“But we had to shoot that day itself as we had a tight schedule and it was difficult for the cast and crew to move.

Actress Sushmita Sen, who is set to play transgender activist Gauri Sawant in the web series ‘Taali’, took 6 months for the project but she learnt every dialogue by heart. It was Gauri Sawant’s Pil (public interest litigation) that led to a landmark Supreme Court judgement in 2014, recognising the transgender community as the third gender.
The creative duo behind ‘Taali’ Arjun Singgh Baran and Kartk D. Nishandar revealed that the actress did her homework quite well.
The creative duo recalled the passion with which Sushmita immersed herself into Gauri’s life. They said: “She took around six months to say okay to the script and she knew it by heart. So in tune with the script she was by then that during the shoot, if we added or changed a line, she would tell us instantly that it wasn’t there originally. She does her homework very well.”

Hindi web series ‘Rafuchakkar’ is creating a buzz in trade circles for many reasons. Headlined by versatile star Maniesh Paul in an intriguing role as a conman, this engrossing tale promises to be a clutter breaker, thanks to powerful performances and an unpredictable plot. Creator duo Arjun Singgh Baran and Kartk D Nishandar are understandably excited and believe this show will stand apart even in the glut of content on streaming platforms.
Says Arjun Singgh Baran who co-founded prolific production house Gseams with Kartk D Nishandar, “This show is extremely special and close to us because I and Kartk actually started writing it almost four years back and a lot of work and thought has gone into it. It’s exceedingly rare to see a good, slick, realistic show about con artists and this show is the exception.”
“It will be pathbreaking and hopefully will be loved by even the audiences in the heartland.
