When Delhi Crime first began in 2018, Rasika Dugal didn’t know she was stepping into something that would quietly mirror her own growth over the years. Standing at the trailer launch of Season 3, she wasn’t just reminiscing about a show — she was reflecting on a journey that had evolved with her, season after season.
“Every time I return to Delhi Crime, it feels like revisiting a chapter of my own life,” Rasika shared. “Neeti has grown, and so have I. Watching that parallel unfold is something rare — some journeys just find you once, and they stay.” There was a quiet sincerity in her tone, the kind that comes only when art and life blur their boundaries.
For Rasika, playing Inspector Neeti Singh has never been about repetition; it’s been about rediscovery. With each season, she steps back into Neeti’s shoes, but finds a new version of herself within them. The real-life officer who inspired the character has changed over the years too — and that, Rasika admits, deepens her emotional connection to the role.
Alongside her, the beloved Shefali Shah returns as the steadfast DCP Vartika Chaturvedi, joined this season by Huma Qureshi and Rajesh Tailang. Together, they continue the story that has redefined crime drama in India — one that balances empathy and realism with haunting precision.
As Delhi Crime Season 3 readies for its November 13 premiere, Rasika’s words linger: some stories are chosen by actors, but some stories choose their actors — and change them forever.
