Reflecting on her experience working with Director Prakash Jha, Tridha Choudhury shared, “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.”

Ek Badnaam Aashram Season 3 Part 2 is now available for free streaming on Amazon MX Player, accessible through mobile apps, Amazon’s shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, and Connected TVs.
