In the film Secret Superstar, we saw Meher Vij in a pivotal role as she essayed Zaira’s mother’s character. She absolutely justified her character and redefined the meaning of a mother. We just loved watching her on-screen!

Just like her on-screen mother, Zaira Wasim too was fabulous in the film. Secret Superstar was her second film after Dangal and she successfully left a mark with her performance. The way Zaira expressed every emotion in the film was outstanding and no one else would have essayed it in the same way.

Saba Qamar (Hindi Medium)
In Hindi Medium, we saw Pakistani actress Saba Qamar, who impressed us in her Bollywood debut film. She was seen essaying the role of a higher middle-class woman who was desperate enough to ensure a good education for her daughter just like any other women. Her chemistry with Irrfan was also a treat to watch as she played a dominating wife in the film.

Konkana Sen Sharma (Lipstick Under My Burkha)
After facing a lot of controversies, Lipstick Under My Burkha finally got a green light from the CBFC for the release. In this film, we saw different characters portraying different stories. One of them was Konkana Sen Sharma, who was seen struggling with her marital and daily life. She was an aspirational character for all the lower middle-class ladies. She stood for herself and give wings to her dreams!
