With Disney+ Hotstar's series Aarya, which also features Chandrachur Singh and Sikandar Kher, Sushmita Sen is not only making her digital debut but also a comeback after a sabbatical from acting.
"For me, it was very simple, I had started getting the kind of work that I was just doing for the sake of it to stay in the business of making movies. I think that is a criminal waste of your life, so I chose otherwise and I did better things with my time. Now, I said I can commit to this (comeback)," Sushmita said in a virtual interview with PTI.
Aarya, created by Ram Madhvani of Neerja fame, is about an upper-class family that owns a pharmaceutical company which is a front for an illegal drug ring. Sushmita plays the title role of Aarya, a wife and a mother to three children, who embarks upon a quest to protect her family after her husband, played by Chandrachur, is mysteriously attacked.

For the 44-year-old actor, it was worth her while to "wait" as she got the perfect show to make her comeback.
"By God’s grace, I got the most incredible beautiful content, a fantastic platform, Hotstar. For me, this culmination of everything coming together has been because I gave it time, I gave my everything to wait. I said I will sit at home but when I do something it has to be worth it. And I can proudly say it now (with 'Aarya')," Sushmita said.
The Hotstar Special series has been directed by Madhvani, Sandeep Modi and Vinod Rawat. The series also stars Namit Das, Manish Chaudhari, Vinod Rawat, Ankur Bhatia, Alexx O’Nell and Sugandha Garg among others.
