The world of The Family Man just got a lot more dangerous and far more intense. With the trailer for The Family Man Season 3 finally out, fans can’t stop talking about the newest addition to Raj & DK’s universe: Jaideep Ahlawat as the formidable antagonist, Rukma.
Known for his powerhouse performances in Paatal Lok and Raazi, Jaideep’s transformation into a cold, detached, and mysterious villain has already caught the internet’s attention. His look equal parts menacing and magnetic has fans buzzing with excitement about what’s to come.
Speaking at the trailer launch, Jaideep expressed deep gratitude for how his year has unfolded. “What more can anyone ask for? Starting the year with Paatal Lok and ending it with The Family Man , I couldn’t have asked for more,” he said with a smile.
Describing his character, Jaideep gave a glimpse into the mind of Rukma ,a man seemingly devoid of emotion. “Rukma is a detached guy ,he doesn’t get emotionally attached to anything,” he explained. “But the irony is, that’s exactly what ends up happening. Somehow, he finds himself attached to Srikant too. Still, he doesn’t care about anything in the world. He lives in a kind of emotional vacuum.”
Jaideep also spoke warmly about his experience working alongside Manoj Bajpayee, who plays the series’ lead, Srikant Tiwari. “The excitement to work with someone who inspires you every single day — that’s something else,” he said. “Watching Manoj bhai on set, preparing for a scene, observing his process that in itself is an incredible experience. I’m sure every actor and director who’s worked with him would agree.”
With The Family Man 3 set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on November 21, the excitement is at an all-time high. Raj & DK have promised a season packed with sharp writing, emotional depth, and unpredictable turns — and with Jaideep Ahlawat now in the mix, the tension is bound to skyrocket.
