Aaditi Pohankar, who delivers a hard-hitting performance as Pammi, reflects on her character’s evolution, sharing, “Pammi’s journey has always been one of determination and self-discovery. She started as a vulnerable girl, but through her struggles, she found a strength she never knew she had. Those were the hidden gems, the moments that truly shaped her evolution. To prepare for this transformative journey, I simply followed the script as it was, without altering the emotions already embedded within. As an actor, my job was discovering what’s beneath the lines and bringing that to life. I didn’t need external preparation, it was all about feeling what Pammi felt as she stepped into her power.”

Shedding light on the emotional depth of her role, Aaditi added, “Portraying a character who is both strong and vulnerable is always a challenge. But in reality, vulnerability and strength go hand in hand. It’s in our most vulnerable moments that our true strength emerges — we just don’t always realize when or how it will surface. With Pammi, that’s exactly what happened. Her innocence was always her strength, but when that innocence was shattered, it forced her to rise stronger. And that to me is the essence of her journey.”

Get ready to unravel the dark side of blind faith in self-proclaimed Babas as Ek Badnaam Aashram Season 3 Part 2 is now streaming for free exclusively on Amazon MX Player, available through its apps on mobile, Amazon’s shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Connected TVs.

In a recent interview, Sonali Kulkarni, who plays Hema, a character seeking self-worth and love, praised her co-actor Sobhita Dhulipala’s performance and kind nature. “Sobhita is an extremely intelligent person, voracious reader, and a very gentle human being. It was a pleasure to work with her,” Sonali stated. Expressing her surprise at Sobhita’s stark departure from the Tara she plays in the television series ‘Made In Heaven’, Sonali continued, “I couldn’t believe she is the same actor who plays Tara in Made In Heaven. That was an excellent performance, and this is totally different. I am really looking forward to her career. I hope she does well and makes all of us proud,” she emphasized, highlighting Sobhita’s versatility and expressing her eagerness to watch Sobhita in future projects.

This film marks another milestone in Sobhita’s career, underlining her ability to embody diverse characters with ease. Interestingly, Sobhita has portrayed characters named Tara twice before, in ‘Made In Heaven’ and ‘Kaalakaandi’, which adds a fun coincidence to her acting journey. Her role in ‘Love, Sitara’ further cements her reputation as a versatile actress capable of delivering nuanced performances across different genres.

In season 3 of this social drama, Bobby Deol as Baba Nirala is seen in a more intense and vicious avatar, who continues to bend every rule to suit himself and has become a power-hungry adversary while Rajeev’s Akki is a morally centred journalist who from the very outset can see right through Baba’s intentions.

When asked about his role, Rajeev said, “I play the role of a journalist, a selfless human being who stands up for people who are exploited, for people who cannot fight for themselves. In season 1 and 2 you see Akki realise how terrible Baba Nirala’s operations are and how he’s exploiting people in the Aashram, especially women. Akki launches an investigation to expose Baba, simultaneously he gets close to Pammi as he wants to rescue her from Baba’s clutches”.

He added, “This season Pammi and Akki are on the run throughout. My character is more perspectival while Pammi’s is slightly impulsive. Akki is the centred guy, someone who wants to plan and make sure efforts don’t go to waste. He acts as a perfect sounding board for Pammi’s character. Akki’s and Pammi’s scenes are full of stillness and pauses. There’s a lot of breathing space. We’ve been fortunate to be given those scenes by our director. Between the plotline and Akki’s & Pammi’s relationship dynamics, I believe Akki is a very nuanced character who is growing, continually”.

On working with his director Prakash Jha, Rajeev said, “It was a fantastic experience with Prakash Sir. As the captain of the ship, he is so secure and confident about his craft and storytelling that the rest was taken care of. There are a lot of admirable qualities in him- the way he handles projects on a huge scale, and how he provides a right atmosphere for actors to deliver honestly in the scenes. I have been lucky to learn under his guidance and direction through all the 3 seasons.”

From a poster boy in Four More Shots Please to serious roles in Hundred, Marzi and Prakash Jha’s series, the investment banker turned actor, Rajeev Siddhartha has his game on point in Tinseltown.

Actor Rajeev Siddhartha who stars in the teleplay says, “(LOVE)’ is a futuristic adaptation of ‘Pygmalion’ and tells the story of a brilliant scientist and inventor who falls in love with his own creation. He has lived a life of isolation and is always busy with his own experiments. He has gone through a broken engagement and to spite his mother who is after him to get married, he creates a robot. It is so close to life that his mother actually mistakes it for a woman. As the teleplay progresses, an unusual bond develops between the creator and his creation and the audience realises that, ultimately love is the answer to everything.”

The role of the brooding scientist, says Rajeev was challenging because there is a perpetual air of sadness around him. However, he adds, “The process of understanding this character was also full of fun. As an actor, exploring the inner world of a character is very exciting. It also helped that I had a wonderful team of co-actors. Everyone working on the set got along very well and helped create an atmosphere that was very conducive for me to play this part. I thoroughly enjoyed the shoot.”

To prepare for his part thoroughly, Rajeev also went back to the source material and studied it. He says, “There are a lot of similarities between the original character and my character. There may be variations in our adaptation and a few nuances may be different as compared to the original text, still the foundation remains the same.”

The teleplay, he says, is primarily about the power of love and has been made with a lot of passion. He concludes, “This adaptation presents to you a classical play in a very modern format both in terms of the text and in the way it’s been shot. I think the audience will definitely enjoy this new-age version of ‘Pygmalion.’’

‘(LOVE)’ is directed by Karan Talwar and also stars Yuki Ellias, Shivam Patil, Sonali Sachdev, Payal Nair, Nandini Sen, Priti Shroff and Suhani Gandhi.
