Bobby Deol starrer Aashram is one of the most loved web series in current times. It is the web series that renewed Bobby Deol’s career by becoming one of the most-watched shows online and getting back-to-back three seasons.  Directed and produced by National Award-winning filmmaker Prakash Jha, the latest installment takes the high-stakes drama to new heights as Baba Nirala’s dominance faces its ultimate test.

With Bobby Deol reprising his enigmatic role, the series also features an ensemble cast including Aaditi Pohankar, Darshan Kumaar, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Vikram Kochhar, Tridha Choudhury, Anupriya Goenka, Rajeev Siddhartha, and Esha Gupta in pivotal roles. Bobby Deol, who masterfully embodies Baba Nirala, reflected on his transformative journey, saying, "From the very beginning, this character has been in a constant state of evolution. Every scene, every moment on set was deeply rooted in the way it was written. I didn’t need to prepare extensively because Prakash Ji’s storytelling provided everything I needed to step into Baba Nirala’s world."

Reflecting on the show’s impact on his career, Bobby shared, "Prakash Ji’s vision changed everything for me, he saw me as Baba Nirala, and that redefined my trajectory as an actor. I was eager to explore roles beyond my established image and comfort zone, and this show gave me that opportunity. Now, as the story unfolds, the stakes are higher than ever. What happens to a man who is both revered and feared? How far can his influence stretch? That’s something audiences have to watch and find out.”
