Aashram S3: Darshan Kumaar sheds light on Ujagar Singh’s struggles for justice
The second part of season 3 of the highly anticipated series recently released on Amazon’s free streaming platform. A powerhouse ensemble cast comprising Chandan Roy Sanyal, Vikram Kochhar, Tridha Choudhury, Aaditi Pohankar, Anupriya Goenka, Rajeev Siddhartha, and Esha Gupta, delivering compelling performances. Bobby Deol’s haunting portrayal of Baba Nirala, along with Darshan Kumaar’s heartfelt performance as Ujagar Singh, brings the story’s tension to life.
Darshan Kumaar opens up on what makes Ujagar Singh’s character so special for him
Darshan opens up about his experience working on the series and expresses his thoughts on embodying the character, saying, “As an actor, bringing Ujagar Singh to life has been incredibly rewarding, a journey filled with perseverance, resilience, and an unyielding quest for justice. Watching his efforts pay-off is rewarding because he stays true to himself, a man who refuses to bend in the face of corruption and blind faith. What I hope audiences take away from his story is that truth and integrity will always prevail, no matter how insurmountable the opposition. Ujagar Singh’s journey proves that a single act of courage can ignite change and I hope viewers resonate with his story as deeply.”
Darshan Kumaar brings a gripping intensity to Ujagar Singh, whose unwavering determination to find the truth makes the journey even more compelling. He shares his experience portraying the character, “The entire system is designed to shield Baba Nirala, yet Ujagar Singh remains relentless in his pursuit of justice. Every step forward is met with a new hurdle and an ever-present threat to his life. Challenging someone as influential as Baba Nirala is not just a mission, it's a battle against an entire network fueled by fear and control. One of Ujagar’s most personal blows comes when Natasha, the woman he loves, walks away, unable to bear the weight of his dangerous crusade. His superiors, too, try to break his spirit, urging him to compromise and turn a blind eye. But for Ujagar surrendering is never an option. His resolve remains unshaken, his mission is clear– to stand up for the innocent, even if it means standing alone.”
Season 3 ended on a tense note as Baba's hold on his empire started to slip. Pammi’s (Aaditi Pohankar) strong desire for justice and revenge stood out, and the final moments left her in a risky situation, hinting at tough times ahead for Baba Nirala.
