Chandan Roy Sanyal, who masterfully embodies Bhopa Swami, reflected on his character’s journey, he shared, “Bhopa has always been the silent force behind Baba Nirala, executing command with unwavering loyalty. But this time, the tides have shifted as he’s had enough. As Baba Nirala begins to disregard his counsel, Bhopa finds himself questioning his place in the Aashram. For the first time, Bhopa feels overlooked, his influence waning. That moment of realization sparks a quiet but resolute rebellion within him. He starts to believe that he is just as powerful, and just as deserving of the throne. This season marks Bhopa Swami’s rise from the shadows— ready to claim his destiny.”

Delving into the profound impact Aashram has had on his career, Chandan further added, “This show has played a crucial role in shaping my journey as an actor. Since its debut in 2020, the love and adulation I’ve received have been truly overwhelming. Ashram arrived at a time when the country was in lockdown, digital storytelling started to gain momentum during that period and became a pivotal part of that shift. Alongside other groundbreaking shows from various platforms, Ashram redefined audience perceptions, proving that compelling narratives transcend the silver screen. The show has given me immense recognition and a strong foothold in the industry, and I remain deeply grateful to Prakash Ji and Bobby Sir. Prakash Ji’s trust in me to bring Bhopa to life has been an honour, and Bobby Sir’s generosity as a co-star allowed me to truly own my character, ultimately making this journey even more fulfilling. The admiration and camaraderie we share on and off-screen have made this experience truly special.”

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.
