In Season 3, she is going places and starting her own story free from the obstacles of her past. Reprising the role of Aarya is like slipping into old jeans but for a brand-new journey. It feels great to be back with Ram Madhvani and the Disney+ Hotstar team, can’t wait to return the love and appreciation viewers have showered on Aarya.”

Creator and filmmaker Ram Madhvani added, “Disney+ Hotstar has been an amazing partner in building Aarya through 2 seasons and we are delighted to associate with them once again. The journey of developing a gripping storyline, thrill and family love has started and we are sure this will once again leave audiences wanting more! The stakes are only getting higher from here! It’s great to be back with Sushmita Sen and co-producer Amita Madhvani and the full Ram Madhvani Films team.”

One of the leads from the show, Sikandar Kher, was all smiles as he posed with director Ram Madhvani when prep commenced for the highly anticipated return of the show.

The first two seasons got great response from critics and viewers alike, with Sushmita Sen helming the story and Sikandar playing a pivotal lead, for which he even earned awards earlier this year.

Said Sikandar: “It’s wonderful to be back with this incredible team, and I’m so looking forward to starting to shoot soon. We have begun workshops for the new season and from whatever I have read so far, I’m excited to take the audiences on a thrilling new ride. This is one of the most impeccably written characters I have played and I can’t wait to bring Daulat back on screen.”
