While most contemporary actresses shy away from playing senior roles on screen, Sushmita Sen seems to have no qualms about essaying wifely roles on reel.
Sushmita, who won acclaim for her role as singer Palash Sen’s wife in Meghna Gulzar’s Filhaal, will be seen playing a simple Indian housewife in a number of films.
To begin with, there is Mahesh Manjrekar’s English version of his Hindi movie Astitva which is about the trials and tribulations of a housewife being constantly subjugated by her domineering husband.
And now it is learnt that she is playing a similar role in director Dharmaesh Darshan’s Bewafa which is believed to be the modern-day remake of B R Chopra’s yesteryear hit Gumrah.
