Within minutes, Shilpa Shetty's post was flooded with comments from her friends and fans. Reacting to her picture, Sushmita Sen commented, "So so precious my love! There's no one like you! Thank you so much from all of us at team Aarya. I love you!" Sikander Kher also commented to Shilpa Shetty's post; he wrote, "Shilpa! Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it because we had such a wonderful time making it."
Directed by Ram Madhvani, Aarya is based on the Dutch drama series Penoza. Sushmita Sen plays the titular role in the series, Aarya Sareen, who takes charge of her family's pharma firm, opium plantation and drug warehouse after her husband gets killed.
Co-produced by Ram Madhvani and Endemol Shine India, Aarya opened to lukewarm reviews from film critics post its release on Hotstar on June 19. In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave 2.5 stars (out of 5) to the series and wrote, "The actress has been away for a while but she hits the ground running in Aarya. The character she plays is never fully in control in a toxic male-dominated word, but Sen is on the top of her game all the way through. As long as she is at it, Aarya, adapted for India by Ram Madhvani and Sandeep Modi from the Dutch drama series Penoza, keeps you glued to the screen. The rest of the action not so much."
Besides Sushmita Sen, Aarya also stars Chandrachur Singh, Sikander Kher, Vikas Kumar, Manish Chaudhari, Alexx O'Nell and Ankur Bhatia in pivotal roles.
