Talking to IANS about her role in Aarya, Sushmita said, "It took me a decade to find a role like this to sink into and I'm thrilled to be a part of this incredible story. I am thankful to Ram Madhvani and his team for giving me the role of a lifetime."
She added, "Aarya represents strength, determination and above all vulnerability in a world full of crime, a world run by men. For me, personally, it is the story of family, betrayal and a mother who is willing to go to any length to protect her children."
Based on the Dutch drama Penoza, Ram Madhvani considers Aarya a story of a family. "I wanted to explore the interpersonal relationships in a family. I watched Penoza nine years ago and fell in love with the protagonist," he told mid-day in an interview.
