Female-oriented films or those that have strong female characters have left an indelible mark on the Indian audience. Joining the league of such female-forward stories, Amazon Prime Video is coming with a seven-episode series titled Hush Hush, which stars a versatile ensemble cast of Juhi Chawla, Soha Ali Khan Pataudi, Shahana Goswami, Kritika Kamra, and Karishma Tanna.

The story of the upcoming series revolves around a set of women whose picture-perfect lives get topsy-turvy due to unexpected events that reveal secrets from their past and threaten everything dear to them.
