Aashram is a gripping Indian web series that debuted in August 2020 on MX Player - an Indian streaming platform. Since its OTT release, the series has gained quite a viewer base owing to its realistic portrayal of the lives and deeds of the self-proclaimed spiritual and religious leaders who often have a darker side to their innocent and pure image. Bobby Deol leads the show in the character of Baba Nirala, a self-proclaimed guru who has several devout followers.
Three seasons of the show have already been released which take us through the sins of Baba Nirala, right from his exploitation of his followers’ money for personal luxuries to his influence in local politics. The show takes an interesting turn when police officer Ujagar Singh (Darshan Kumar) gets on a mission to expose Baba Nirala’s real face. After a scintillating Season 2 and 3, Aashram Season 4 is all set to be released in December 2024.
All you need to know about Ashram Web Series season 4
About the web series
Aashram has created quite a buzz and fans have eagerly waited to see Bobby Deal in Baba Nirala’s character. With the Aashram season 4 release date approaching, we're once again pumped to see the extent to which Baba Nirala’s blind followers go to save the fallen dignity of this self-proclaimed godman. While Baba Nirala feels that he is too powerful to be destroyed, there's Pammi (Aditi Pohankar) a lower caste girl who gets drawn to Baba and finds herself trapped in his vicious shackles.
The character of SI Ujagar Singh, the cynical police officer who tries to expose Baba and his disciples after stumbling upon a murder case, is yet another adventurous saga of virtues gone wrong that keeps you at the edge of your seat. With Prakash Jha’s impeccable direction, the web series is as intense as it gets, making Bobby Deol Aashram a critically acclaimed entertainer.
Cast of Aashram
Aashram season 4 is anticipated to be a big hit owing to its talented ensemble cast. From the gorgeous Bobby Deol as Baba Nirala to the exceptional performance of Adhyayan Suman, Chandan Roy Sanyal, Tridha Choudhary, Anupriya Goenka, Esha Gupta, Tushar Pandey, Darshan Kumar, and Aditi Pohankar, the show comes to life with vivid characters and mind-boggling plot twists.
The phenomenal cast drives the narrative straight to the heart and appeals to the imaginative minds of the global audience, making the Aashram season 4 release date an eagerly awaited moment.
Is the show based on real-life events?
The show makers call Bobby Deol's Aashram a work of fiction, but upon scrutiny, many have found the show to resemble the life of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, the chief of Dera Sacha Sauda.
If you're not familiar with his story, Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh is a disgraced spiritual leader who is currently serving his time in jail for having raped two of his female followers. The makers don't claim that Aashram is inspired by Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh’s life, but the story is representative of the lives and deeds of many spiritual gurus who have been tried in the past for their wrong-doings under the pretence of serving God and mankind.
What happened in previous seasons?
After the news of the tentative release date of Aashram web series season 4 spread, many people who had previously not watched the show were drawn to it. So here's a recap for all those who may not be well-versed with the previous seasons of the show.
Season 2 was all about Pammi finally uncovering the real face of Baba Nirala and escaping the Aashram with Akki. Her escape leaves Baba and Bhopa concerned. Season 3 saw Pammi exposing Baba as a sexual predator. We also see her struggle to save her life from Baba and his team, who are literally on a Pammi hunt. Multiple mini-plot twists and subplots keep the season spiced up. The other significant development is Baba Nirala’s wife coming to the front and talking about his past life, Nepal, murder and mutton curry.
While season 1 premiered in November 2020, season 2 followed shortly after. After a brief hiatus, season 3 was released in June 2022 and now after almost two years, viewers are excited for the release of Aashram season 4.
What to expect in Aashram Season 4?
Those awaiting Aashram season 4 release date and time should check the trailer featuring Baba Nirala addressing his followers and saying, “I am God. I am beyond your laws. I have created this paradise. How can you arrest God?” In yet another unexpected turn of events, we see Pammi willingly returning to Baba's ashram.
There’s then a glimpse of Baba’s lieutenant, Bhopa Singh, warning her to stay away. The trailer finally ends with a scene of Pammi being dressed as a bride. From the looks of it, it's speculated that a changed relationship between Baba and Pammi will be the crux of season 4.
When and where will Aashram Season 4 be released?
If you're wondering about the Aashram season 4 release date and time, it's reportedly ready to be aired in December 2024. An NDTV report suggested that the show was supposed to air last year but owing to unprecedented difficulties it stands postponed.
But December isn't far away and we can't wait to see Bobby Deol thrive in the enigmatic character of Baba Nirala. The official announcement is yet to come but the audience is excited for yet another season filled with power and deception games. Like the rest of the seasons, Aashram web series season 4 will stream on MX Player.
