Mumbai, 17 March 2025: Amazon’s free streaming platform, Amazon MX Player, brings back the dark and riveting world of Ek Badnaam Aashram with Season 3 Part 2, where faith is a facade, and power is the ultimate currency. As Bobby Deol’s enigmatic Baba Nirala loses his grip on the Aashram, the battle for control intensifies, pushing every character to their limits. Among them is Babita, a woman who has navigated manipulation, betrayal, and her own awakening – brought to life by Tridha Choudhury. The series also features a powerhouse ensemble cast, including Vikram Kochhar, Aaditi Pohankar, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Darshan Kumar, Anupriya Goenka, Rajeev Siddhartha, and Esha Gupta, each playing crucial roles in this intense narrative.
Reflecting on her experience working with Director Prakash Jha, Tridha Choudhury shares, “Working with Prakash sir was nothing less than a turning point in my career. I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the finest directors in our industry, but working with sir has been an absolute delight. I learnt a lot about voice modulation, projection, and, most importantly, how to live a character and not mechanically deliver lines from him. It’s often said that an actor must get into the skin of the character, but with Prakash ji, it felt effortless. He once told me, ‘It’s a director’s job to direct and an actor’s job to act. I won’t tell you how to act Tridha, just go and play.’ That trust, that creative freedom, made all the difference.”
She further reveals how Aashram shaped her as an actor, highlighting, “This project was way beyond than just a performance, it was a learning experience and the director’s vision and the incredible ensemble cast made a world of difference. There were moments – in emotionally charged scenes – where I didn’t have to think about delivering lines, it was all about reacting and feeling the moment. I remember working with Aaditi in some of the most intense sequences, and we would just look at each other and instinctively know how to respond. That experience changed me as an actor. I had the space to truly explore my character’s arc. That, combined with such a well- written script and role, gave me the feeling that audiences started taking me more seriously. When you’re given a role that challenges you, it naturally elevates your graph, and Aashram did exactly that for me.”
