“When our country recognises women, they empower women. To be born a woman is a gift but to be at the service of women is a privilage. To get awarded for the same is a humbling experience,” the actor said. Sushmita posted the video with a caption in which she thanked her fans for their love. She wrote, “Your love is my greatest Award!”
When one of her fans asked her about the update on Aarya 2, Sushmita informed that the shooting has halted for a while but they have almost finished the series. “I am waiting for Aarya 2 also. I can promise that we have put our heart and soul into this season because there is such a powerful progression in Aarya’s life from the season one. I cannot wait for you to see it and fall in love with her even more. We have an incredible team. It was heartbreaking to stop filming because we were so close to finishing it.,” Sushmita replied.
The actor, who made her OTT debut with Aarya last year, was shooting for the second season of the series before the lockdown was induced to control the rising cases of the coronavirus in Maharashtra.
