A look at the trailer of Hush Hush will instantly remind you of the iconic Big Little Lies. When we sit down with Ayesha Jhulka, that’s where we start our conversation. “This show is nothing like that. The script is completely different,” says the actor, who makes her comeback with the series. Though Jhulka played bit parts in films over the years, most noticeably in Socha Na Tha (2005) and Umrao Jaan (2006), she didn’t pursue Bollywood with the same gusto as she did through the ’90s.
