“My mother binge watched the second season with me! My Father was choked with emotion when he called me from Kolkata and told me how proud he is of me after watching Aarya 2. It was a very emotional moment for me. I had always told my father that I would make him proud. It has taken me 27 years to earn this compliment from my Dad, that he is proud of my work,” shared the actress.
Speaking exclusively to ETimes, Sushmita shared that she has been offered many strong characters all through her career. She said, “Many years ago, in ‘Biwi No. 1’, nobody wanted to play Rupali and it wasn’t the author backed role and yet it was the one that stood out from that movie and story. So yes, I have experienced that many times, including the movie ‘Filhaal’. It’s a beautiful film, ahead of its times, but yeah these things depend on the maker, too. It also depends on what juncture you are in your life and career. When I was 21-22, I was great at taking risks and saying, ‘We’ll see what happens with that risky role.’ But, as I’ve gotten older and I do less work, I can’t be doing that anymore.”
