Behind the Scenes

The Aarya series was mainly shot in Jaipur, Udaipur, Mumbai, and Palgad in Rajasthan, with some scenes filmed in Mumbai. Making her comeback after a decade, Sushmita Sen underwent over 30 look tests for her role in the show.

The series was shot in a 360-degree format. This format uses multiple cameras to record the scene simultaneously, freeing the actors from shot and angle limitations.

Behind the scenes, Sushmita was known for her infectious childlike enthusiasm and how well she embraced the show, the flow, and the crew. 

Controversy

There was a controversy regarding one of the dialogues in the web series Aarya. An actor in a scene refers to a physical therapist as a compounder. This, according to a few from the fraternity, was disparaging and demoralizing to the students into the profession.

A message from Dr. Malvika S Batavia’s advocate Swapana Kode demanded an unconditional public apology from the creators to the medical community and the removal of the dialogue from the series.

However, Endemol India Pvt Ltd passed a statement that the series is a work of fiction and the stories and character dialogues presented are to be understood only in the context of imagination and not as truth.

The makers said that they had done nothing wrong and the show was a pure result of creative and artistic freedom. So, the defamation claims are completely baseless and legally unsupportable.

Ratings

According to IMDb ratings, Aarya is given a rating of 7.8/10 based on 15K reviews.

Aarya obtained, by and large, a wonderful reaction from critics and the audience. With Sushmita Sen's overall performance, she maintains the rhythm with her commanding presence.
