Sooraj Barjatya has recently opened up about the strongest female influence in his life. During an interview with Filmfare, he spoke about his recent project Sangamarmar, while sharing about the woman who has shaped him as a person and a professional. Sooraj noted that his mother Sudha Barjatya is his ultimate inspiration. In fact, every female character he has ever written, has some way or the other, been influenced by his mother.
Some of Barjatya’s best female characters remain Suman (played by Bhagyashree) in Maine Pyar Kiya, Nisha (played by Madhuri Dixit) in Hum Aapke Hain Koun…!, Sadhna (Tabu) and Preeti (Sonali Bendre) Hum Saath-Saath Hain, Poonam (played by Amrita Rao) in Vivah and more. Through these characters, Barjatya has consistently celebrated women as the moral and emotional backbone of the society.
