The series will showcase women taking the charge of the story with guns, drugs and badassery at their disposal. Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo: Radhika Madan Claims Her Character Shanta and Her Real-Life Person are Poles Apart!.

Talking about the changing attitude of the audience, Dimple Kapadia said: "I think while these themes have always been present in cinema, it seems that audiences are becoming more accepting of them and seeking out content that pushes the boundaries. It's important to recognise that cinema is a reflection of society, and that society itself is becoming more accepting of these themes." Saas Bahu Aur Flamingo: Dimple Kapadia Talks About Her Character Savitri and ‘Unique Narrative’ of Homi Adajania’s Upcoming Series.

She added: "We cannot ignore the fact that there is a growing appetite for content that explores darker and more taboo subjects. As artists, it's our job to navigate this landscape with care and sensitivity, while still pushing the boundaries and exploring new grounds. Ultimately, it's up to the audience to decide what they want to watch, and as artistes, our job is to create content that resonates with them." Saas, Bahu aur Flamingo will drop on Disney+ Hotstar on May 5.
