On the auspicious occasion of International Women’s Day 2022, we bring you the limitless power of a woman with some bold female characters who have shattered stereotypes and broken barriers in cinema. Whether it’s the indomitable Aarya Sareen, portrayed by Sushmita Sen in the superhit series Aarya or the sharp police officer Lara Dutta in Hundred who fights against the men to prove that she is no less than a man to Anu Chandra portrayed by Kirti Kulhari standing up for herself in the courtroom drama Criminal Justice: Behind Closed Doors, these versatile characters are a force to reckon with in their own way. On Women`s Day 2022, we celebrate womanhood with these 5 outstanding characters in cinema.
Aarya Sareen in Aarya
Portrayed by the ever-stunning Sushmita Sen, Aarya Sareen is a powerful character who is willing to go to great lengths to protect her loved ones. Throughout the story, she transforms from being a dutiful mother who goes above and beyond and leaves no stone unturned to protect her children like a lioness. From a homemaker to her turn as an illicit drug dealer dodging the eyes of the prying law enforcement authorities is extremely remarkable. Without bias to either side of her role, actor Sushmita Sen displays elegance and gusto that cannot be taught. With a gripping storyline and an amazing performance by the cast, this show is a must-watch for all the ladies out there.
