Sushmita Sen has frequently acknowledged that in many respects, the character of Aarya Sareen mirrors her own life. Sushmita, the main character of the Ram Madhvani gangster drama, is a single mother who is ferociously protective of her children. Aarya now has a near-death experience, exactly like Sushmita did earlier this year, as seen in the Season 3 teaser of the programme.
What does the teaser show?
On Monday, Hotstar released a brand-new teaser for Aarya Season 3, in which Sushmita describes how she was propelled into power in a criminal environment and the price that comes with it. She emphasises how she was forced to become a prominent mobster by events rather than choosing to be one.

Along with flashbacks from the past two seasons, Sushmita is shown in the brief teaser smoking a cigar and making deals with gangsters. The teaser, however, concludes with her being shot. When she is shot and spotted standing atop a stronghold, she already appears to be injured. Her children watch in disbelief as Aarya collapses after taking a gunshot to the chest. Sushmita says in the voiceover at the end of the teaser that she never imagined “the end” would be this.
Her predicament is succinctly summarised in the official description of the teaser on YouTube: “Jiske sar pe taaj hota hai, nishaana bhi uss hi pe hota hai (The one who wears the crown is everyone’s target)”. #HotstarSpecials #Aarya Season 3, streaming from 3rd Nov only on @disneyplushotstar.”

Sushmita suffered a heart attack earlier this year while shooting Aarya Season 3 in Jaipur. She received a heart stent after being transported to the hospital. In addition to recovering fast, Sushmita described the stent as “beautiful” because it is now a part of her.
In Jio Cinema’s Taali, where she played the transgender activist Shreegauri Sawant, Sushmita was most recently spotted. Aarya Season 3 also features Sikandar Kher, who returns to play Daulat, her right-hand guy.
