The digital entertainment wave gains momentum as Mugdha Chapekar fulfills her long-standing dream of an OTT debut in Hungama’s ‘Hasratein’ Season 3. Featured prominently in the January 22 premiere episode ‘Halla Bol’, her performance as Jyoti is already hailed as a standout.
Jyoti’s story is one of profound transformation: a battered housewife under a politician husband’s thumb, coerced into electoral politics as a proxy. The campaign trail awakens her dormant resolve, culminating in a fierce stand against those undermining her achievements. This portrayal shines a spotlight on patriarchal oppression and the triumph of female agency.
Mugdha expressed her excitement, noting, ‘I patiently awaited the ideal OTT opportunity – one with a strong, female-driven plot. Hungama OTT delivered exactly that, making it an unmissable chance.’
On-set anecdotes reveal a lively environment, thanks to bonds with co-stars like Sanam. ‘She’s phenomenal – a stellar dancer and tireless performer. Our dance sessions during breaks turned intense shoots into moments of pure joy and team spirit,’ Mugdha recounted.
Season 3 unravels layers of concealed passions, relational strife, societal shackles, and bold uprisings, resonating widely with viewers. From her early Bollywood stint as a child in ‘Azaimaish’ to TV breakthroughs in ‘Kya Mujhse Dosti Karoge?’, ‘Prithviraj Chauhan’, and ‘Kumkum Bhagya’, Mugdha has consistently evolved, positioning her OTT foray as a career-defining chapter.
