Pragya Maheshwari, a young actor from Orai, Uttar Pradesh, has made her debut in the film industry with 'Sahan,' where she portrays Nursat Sheikh, a woman trapped in a cycle of domestic violence. The film is currently available for streaming in the US and UK, and for rent in India. Maheshwari expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to play a strong role that resonates with many women globally. She noted that domestic violence often goes unrecognized, with many women normalizing their experiences. Through her research on the subject, she aimed to portray the psychological effects of such abuse accurately. Maheshwari is optimistic about the film's message and hopes it will reach a wider audience in India. She is also preparing to shoot her next project in Varanasi, which was postponed due to extreme summer conditions. Reflecting on her journey, she credits her training in theatre and her experiences in short films for her success in 'Sahan.'
