She is not just 'beauty with brains'; she is a woman of substance, charisma, poise, and warmth. She is Sushmita Sen, our birthday star for today and the Woman We Love… After winning the Miss Universe title and our hearts in 1994, Sushmita entered the show biz with Dastak (1996) and marked her territory. Though the actress had been off the screen for quite a while back then,she was always a part of the B-town industry as long as we all can remember. Soft-spoken, witty, and warm, Sush has been always admired by many for her real-life personality. Flashing her million-dollar smile wherever that she goes, she surely stands out as a woman who vouches for the right things, even off-the-camera.

As far as the acting front goes, Sushmita finally broke her decade-long sabbatical in 2020 and made a smashing comeback and web debut with Hotstar Specials’ series Aarya, a Hindi adaptation of the Dutch crime thriller Penoza. In contrast to all her ‘quintessential heroine’ roles, the actress delivered a performance of a lifetime as a ‘sherni’ matriarch in this taut crime thriller. Portraying the character of Aarya Sareen, she knocked it out of the park as a widow turned Drug Lord who gets her hands dirty to seek revenge for her husband and protect her family from the family feud over reigns of control in the business. While many praised the series for its good script, direction, and ensemble cast, what took the cake for us were its strong, power-packed dialogues that only Sushmita could deliver with aplomb leaving us all mesmerized. Right from her dialogue delivery to its intensity and intense pauses, everything that she said on screen had us transfixed!

As our Sherni turns 45 today, here are some heavily loaded dialogues from her web series Aarya that make us go ‘Bade Acche Lagte Hai…’

“Main apni family ko bachane ki liye kuch bhi kar sakti hu.”

“Trust is good, control is better.”

“Pehle dhandha mard sambhalte the, ab bache nahi.”

“Kabhi kabhi baat sahi aur galat ki nahi, galat aur kam galat ki hoti hai.”

“This is business, yaha galati kisi ki bhi ho, bharpayi family ko hi karni padti hai.”

“Bandook khilona nai hoti, and violence is not the answer. It’s never the answer.”

“Bharosa wahi todte hai jinpe bharosa kiya jaata hai.”

So badass, we had goosebumps just by reading them. Which is your favorite dialogue from the series?
