Actress and former beauty queen Sushmita Sen has talked about her transformative experience of working in ‘Aarya’. She said that she had kind of stagnated 🐎as an actor and after meeting filmmaker Ram Madhavani she said yes to the web-series.

Sushmita said: "I had kind of stagnated as an actor. I was not learning anything, and I wanted to learn. I did not want to do the old stuff again, almost like running a factory of what is almost a creative endeavor. Then I met Ram, and he showed me Aarya. In flat five minutes, ♛I said yes, and I thought, 'My god, I have to pull this off.'

She added, “He came to me and said, 'I'l🌠l need you to do workshops. You'll have to unlearn and relearn.' I was like, 'This is what I've been wanting. There's a ⭕lot I have to unlearn because I'm a 90s kid and a 90s actor.' So there was a lot to do there, and the process was made so friendly and so warm that I came back as a newcomer with a completely different approach.”

Sushmita said that🌠 she has been “scared of theatre my whole life.”

She added: “He made us do theatre. There are no cuts. You🐽're performing in an open, controlled environment, and our takes can go about to 30 to 40 minutes in one take."

‘Aarya Season 3’ streams on Disney+ Hotstar.
