In Tigmanshu Dhulia's Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns, the women characters played by Mahie Gill and Soha Ali Khan use their guile and charm to their advantage. And, in the director's words, they aren't exactly your regular women. Mahie, who plays the alcoholic Biwi, says, "Sometimes, in a desperate bid to gain something, you become rude to the point of hurting yourself. While I am not saying women are Sati-Savitris, they also aren't negative. They are just victims of circumstances. Though I am not as aggressive in real life, if the situation demands, I could become like that."
