Talking about the series, Naveen Kasturia said, “Aspirants has always been very special to me, because the audience has not only seen Abhilash, but also grown up with him.” He continued, “In Season 3, we meet him at a point where his dream has come true on paper, but the reality on the ground is much more complicated. He’s torn between people’s expectations, his own guilt, and the fear of disappointing the people who trusted him the most. For me, what makes this chapter so powerful is the feeling of moving forward when you have everything on the line.” How does desire feel?
This form of Abhilash is weaker, more complicated and more honest about his shortcomings. I’m grateful that audiences continue to connect with her story, and I can’t wait to see where her journey goes next.”
