As an actor, I believe in doing a film only when the story is powerful and has a meaningful impact," she stated. Reflecting on her experience with the sequel, she admitted, "When I did ‘Mardaani 2’, I was quite nervous because I had never done a sequel before. I wondered if I could reprise a character I had already left behind. But to my surprise, I enjoyed it immensely. Now, having experienced it, I’m eager to reprise the role once again in ‘Mardaani 3’."
The 'Mardaani' franchise is celebrated for its ability to subvert gender norms, showcasing a woman leading from the front in a high-stakes, male-dominated profession.
