@thesushmitasen excels as the transgender activist #ShreeGauriSawant in Ravi Jadhav's insightful social drama #Taali on #JioCinema. Every Indian, who has access to the Internet, must watch this TV series.

Sushmita Sen On Getting Trolled
Talking about show¡¯s first look, Sushmita Sen told News18, ¡°The first poster of Taali that I had released had half my face and the clap. I remember that in the comment section, there were lots of nameless people as social media is full of, writing ¡®chhakka (eunuch)¡¯ repeatedly. I thought, how can they do that to me? I took it very personally because it was happening on my timeline. I, of course, blocked all of them. But it hit me that if that¡¯s how it¡¯s making me feel when I¡¯m only portraying Gauri Sawant¡¯s life, they¡¯re living with it every breathing moment of their life."
Taali is streaming on Jiocinema.
