The buzz for Prakash Jha's brilliant crime drama Aashram, which has been really low-key for quite a few months, is now at a level that the fans can actually see and touch.
One of the most talked-about characters of the series, actress Tridha Choudhury, has announced that the shoot for the highly anticipated season 4 will be going on in 2026.
Speaking to Bollywood Hungama, Tridha Choudhury offered a reassuring and straightforward update, saying, “Yes, we are shooting very soon, in 2026!”
The news felt like a breath of fresh air for viewers who have been waiting since 2023 to hear what comes next in Baba Nirala’s controversial universe.
During the chat, Tridha Choudhury also revisited the unexpected turn of events that led her into the world of Aashram.
She recalled a moment that, in hindsight, feels almost cinematic. “It’s an interesting story on how I bagged Aashram. I was in a supermarket where I met Madhvi Bhatt, the DA. She told me, ‘Tridha, I am so happy I bumped into you here. I really think that you should do this show’,” she said.
From that casual meeting, things moved quickly—though not without hurdles. Writer Madhvi Bhatt strongly recommended her to Prakash Jha, but the director initially had concerns. “Madhvi persuaded Prakash Jha sir to consider me. Sir said, ‘Nahin, woh thodi si bacchi lagegi. We have to show her as a woman’,” she recalled. Determined to prove herself, Tridha Choudhury embraced the transformation wholeheartedly. “Hence, I put on weight as he advised, ‘You can’t look so perfect for the character. You need to be weathered’. We had trainers and we worked a lot on the dialogues as well,” she added.
Looking back now, the actress still seems humbled by the scale of what followed. “It was very hard for me to believe that this project would make me a household name in India. But it has. Anywhere I go, people greet me with ‘Japnaam’; no one says ‘Namaste’. For every actor, the show has been groundbreaking,” she said with a smile.
Most recently, Tridha Choudhury appeared in the comedy Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2, released on 12 December 2025, adding another colourful chapter to her growing filmography.
One of the most compelling things that Prakash Jha has made, is definitely Aashram. The show, which is indubitably very scary yet at the same time attractive, features Bobby Deol as the very scary and charismatic Baba Nirala. The topics that the serial deals with are very complex and include faith that is blind, corruption, and the dark sides of power.
