Jaideep Ahlawat's Unacceptable Family Man to Challenge Srikant Tiwari in The Family Man 3

In the lead-up to the highly anticipated release of The Family Man Season 3 on Prime Video on November 21, 2025, the makers have revealed a significant addition to the cast. Acclaimed actor Jaideep Ahlawat has joined the franchise, portraying the character of Rukma, who is positioned to be one of the most formidable adversaries faced by the show's protagonist, Srikant Tiwari (played by Manoj Bajpayee).

Jaideep Ahlawat, known for his ability to seamlessly disappear into every character he plays, shared that his journey into the Family Man universe began with a straightforward but game-changing phone call from the creators, Raj and DK. They envisioned an even bigger and more intense third season, and Jaideep's role as Rukma was central to their plans.

As Jaideep delved into the character, he discovered that Rukma was far more complex than he had initially imagined. Described as an "unacceptable Family Man," Rukma's detachment and lack of concern for societal norms set him in stark contrast to the show's protagonist, Srikant Tiwari. This clash of ideologies and approaches is expected to drive the narrative in thrilling new directions.

The Family Man Season 3 will take viewers to the unexplored landscapes of India's Northeast, setting the stage for a high-intensity storyline steeped in political tension. With the addition of Jaideep Ahlawat's Rukma, the stakes have been raised like never before, as Srikant Tiwari faces a new challenge not only as an intelligence officer but also as a family man.
