Inspired by true events, MX Original Series Ek Thi Begum won the hearts of the viewers and critics, with the story of the bold and daring Ashraf aka Sapna, who turned femme fatale and vowed to avenge her husband’s killer. A woman scorned, she took matters into her own hands and Season 1 ended on a cliff-hanger with Ashraf’s life in the balance.

Amidst heightened anticipation and directed by Sachin Darekar and Vishal Modhave, Ek Thi Begum 2 returns with a woman called Leela Paswan, who hasn’t only made herself heard in a predominantly man’s world but has everyone in power looking for her – the underworld, cops, and politicians.

Experts say she’s no ordinary woman but, who is Leela Paswan?
