Basu’s Shanvika Chauhan emerges stronger and far more formidable. Navigating the ruthless corridors of power, she refuses to play by the rules, even if it means rewriting the meaning of relationships along the way. Basu said her character steps into the space which is emotionally far more layered and unpredictable. “She’s stronger, more guarded, …
