Real and the reel
Ahead of Mother’s Day on Sunday, Sushmita Sen has drawn parallels between her real self and her reel character, Aarya. Sen plays a strong-headed woman who could kill for her children in the show of the same name. “Aarya is synonymous with motherhood. She is the epitome of grace and strength. I am elated to be associated with her story and her journey of motherhood. I have raised my two daughters single-handedly and I know I can go to any extent for them just like Aarya does in the series. I thoroughly resonate with her zeal to move ahead, no matter what [the situation is], and prevail through every hindrance. Motherhood is the most beautiful thing in the world and I absolutely enjoy playing such a strong mother, on screen as well.” She is currently filming the third season of the show. Its past two editions received positive reviews.

The latter took to Instagram stories to share a throwback clip of Grover mocking her celebrity status.

God knows what the truth is, and don’t forget that we are equal in front of him.” Mistry’s comments come after the show’s producer, Asit Modi rubbished her claims that he harassed her, and subsequently threatened to take legal action.
