Nearly two months after suffering a heart attack, Bollywood actor Sushmita Sen informed on Tuesday that she has resumed filming for the third season of her popular web series “Aarya” in Jaipur.

The 47-year-old actor disclosed at the beginning of March via an Insta post that she underwent an angioplasty after suffering a big heart attack.

Meanwhile, the third season of Aarya will feature Sushmita Sen, who portrays the main character as ‘Aarya,’ in a new action-packed avatar as she assumes charge as a strong mother, daughter, and woman. The International Emmy-nominated Hotstar Specials’ Aarya, shows the diligent actor prepared for a sword fight as she returns in an action-packed avatar.

The Season 1 of Aarya in June 2020, marked Sushmita Sen’s comeback on screen. The actor has played the role of a tough woman and mother, who goes beyond the boundaries to protect her family from all sorts of crimes.

Notably, the first season of Aarya was nominated for the ‘Best Drama’ series at the International Emmy Awards. The series also stars some big actors from the industry, Namit Das, Manish Chaudhari, Sikandar Kher and Vinod Rawat under Ram Madhvani’s direction.

Same as the previous two seasons, the third season will also stream the OTT platform Disney+ Hotstar. ‘Aarya 2,’ which was the second season of the series was released in December 2021, but the release date of season 3 has not been revealed by the makers yet.

In a video that she released, she mentioned, “She’s meaner. She’s fearless. She’s back. #AaryaSeason3 resumes shoot.” The actress can be seen mastering her sword fighting techniques, giving viewers a taste of her tough character. She just took a flight to Jaipur to pick up where she left off with the show’s filming after taking a hiatus due to a heart crisis last month.

As per media reports, the former Miss Universe, elaborating on her role, shared, “Aarya is a symbol of power, and I am now forever linked to her unapologetic energy. With Aarya, I ventured into uncharted terrain and tapped into her brave aura to dig deeper into her persona. It’s time to step things up a level and do something we’ve never done now that we’ve seen her ace the game…” 

She further added, “I am delighted to dig into this new part of my character, especially with the swords-play that Aarya learns as her personality matures and she comes more into her own.”

Apart from the web series Aarya, Sushmita Sen will also feature as Taali, where the actress will be playing the role of transgender activist Gauri Sawant.

Ankur Bhatia, who has played a key role in Aarya, also hailed Sushmita Sen for her lead role as transgender in Taali. He also said that not many people dare to play this kind of role and added that the film will change the perception of the people of how they look at trans-genders.
