Here's a list of web-series you could be drawn to to watch on International Women's Day:

Sushmita Sen stars in the Emmy-nominated series 'Aarya' and truly represents courage and commitment. After her husband's tragic death, Aarya evolves from a loving wife and mother into a confident decision-maker in the world of organised crime.

Sonakshi Sinha's portrayal as Inspector Anjali Bhaati in this police procedural crime thriller series is nothing less than riveting. Mohan Kumar (also known as Cyanide Mohan), a serial killer who preyed on women hoping for marriage, became the inspiration for the show.

In 'Delhi Crime,' Shefali Shah plays Delhi Police DCP Vartika Chaturvedi, a character who exudes calm and unshakable rationality in the face of high job stress, challenging the public's perception of the male-dominated profession of policing.

Huma Qureshi rose to fame with 'Maharani' for her role of Rani Bharti, a character inspired by Rabri Devi, in the political drama series that exposes the dirty side of power corridors.

'Scoop', starring Karishma Tanna as Jagruti Pathak, is inspired by ex-journalist Jigna Vora, who was falsely charged with the murder of crime journalist Jyotirmoy Dey and booked under MCOCA.
