Sushmita Sen will capture a more serious, and intense, form of her character Aarya for the second season of the Disney+ Hotstar web-series. The second season of the acclaimed series, helmed by Ram Madhvani, will be streamed on the OTT platform soon.
The teaser for the second season features the actress emerging out of a cloud of red colours which one presumes is a Holi celebration. However, she looks neither happy nor content. The red colour only adds to the intensity and determination of a person willing to go to any lengths to achieve her goals.
