What makes Sweety Gupta such a powerful character in Mirzapur?

Shriya Pilgaonkar talks about what drew her to Sweety from the very first audition and why she feels the character brings a completely different energy to the Mirzapur universe.

Sweety carries a unique combination of confidence, charm, self-awareness and feminine strength. She knows herself, owns her power and refuses to make herself smaller in a male-dominated world.

But perhaps the most powerful part of Sweety’s personality is that she doesn’t chase validation. She is comfortable with who she is — and that self-awareness becomes her strength.

Shriya also looks back at her audition and reveals how much she enjoyed playing the character even before knowing whether she would get the role.
