\u201cOTT is changing that somehow. It’s giving you more of a character-driven opportunity rather than ‘what\u2019s your collection on Friday, Saturday, Sunday?’ What I love about Arya is… today you can look at an iconic character like that and say women are being represented in their mightiest glory.\u201d<\/p>\n
She remembers how rare such roles were. \u201cAt one point, if you said, listen, we\u2019re going to write a script about a woman playing a Michael Corleone, they would say, \u2018Yeah, kya bol rahe ho? Kaise karenge? Who\u2019s going to fund that?\u2019 Ram Madhvani walks up and says, \u2018It has to be a woman. And it has to be she playing the Michael Corleone.\u2019 And you’re like, \u2018Yeah\u2014where do I sign?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite her international acclaim, Sen sees Dubai as deeply personal. \u201cDubai, by God\u2019s grace also\u2014half the population is us, okay? So let\u2019s be fair there. Between Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Nepalese\u2014we\u2019re all here. But the Middle East has always made me feel like this is also my home.\u201d<\/p>\n
And just like the city she loves, she shows no signs of slowing down. <\/p>\n
\u201cI just want Dubai to grow and reach its fullest potential. And I have a feeling that Dubai is never going to reach it. It’s always going to keep evolving.\u201d<\/p>\n
So will she.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cOTT is changing that somehow.
