With Disney+ Hotstar’s series “Aarya”, which also features Chandrachur Singh and Sikander Kher, the actor is making her digital debut.
“For me, it had been very simple, I had started getting the type of labor that i used to be just doing for the sake of it to remain within the business of creating movies. i feel that’s a criminal waste of your life, so I chose otherwise and that i did better things with my time. Now, I said I can plan to this (comeback),” Sushmita said.
