On the work front, Sushmita Sen would be seen in Aarya 2 next. The Ram Madhvani directed series was nominated for the Emmys. Talking about being a part of such cult show, Sen had said in an interview, "I feel prior to Aarya, I was kind of an actor, on the personal front also, I faced quite a lot of challenges and a challenging 5 years period at the end of it. I felt like the Universe had to reward me because I've worked so hard to get there! And I can call Aarya that reward! It came at the right time, not just on a professional level."
