Actress Neha Sargam, who played Saloni Bhabhi in Mirzapur 3, is basking in all the attention she’s getting for the show. Sargam has been part of many TV shows and a musical Mughal-E-Azam in the past. In an Exclusive interview, she tells us, “I have always been a fan of the series. It feels great to be on board as an actor on Mirzapur. How can I even explain how happy I am? It is the best series to work in. When I was brought in season two, I was told that the character graph would grow in season three. So, my journey started from there.” Mirzapur3 is produced by Excel Entertainment. ‘Mirzapur 3’ Hot Scenes: From Neha Sargam–Vijay Varma’s Liplock to Anangsha Biswas–Pramod Pathak’s Sex Clip, Here Are Steamy Moments From the Prime Video Series (Watch Videos). 

Neha Sargam reveals that she feels fortunate and blessed that people liked Saloni Bhabhi. “I was skeptical, anxious and scared on how they would react on seeing me in that role. I had finished the shoot a couple of years ago, and since then I was waiting with a nervous sense of excitement. I can now breathe easy. I was not expecting such a great response,” she gushes.

Neha Sargam and Vijay Varma’s kissing scenes are the talk of the town. When we raised the topic, she laughs and says, “Arre…You know, we shot for it in 2022. At that time, Vijay Varma had not started filming for Lust Stories 2. I had seen some of his previous works, and I knew he had done kissing scenes on shows like She. My friends actively sent me clips of his intimate scenes from films and shows saying, “Unko experience hai, tum kya karogi, tumhara kya hoga.” They teased me mercilessly. It was great to have someone who had been in my position before. He understood my problem very well. Vijay was never perplexed or irritated by my lack of confidence."

The actress also praises her director for showing immense confidence in her throughout the shoot. She further said, "Our director Gurmmeet Singh was so supportive. Vijay told him that he wondered how I would pull off the sequence as I was too scared. He said he had the confidence and said, “No, no, she will do fine.” This was even after me saying that I felt he had cast the wrong actor as Saloni Bhabhi. He said he was sure about me. I tried to make it a more romantic, sensual scene than one driven by pure lust. I feel it is one of the softest ones in the series, with no foul language or wild stuff happening. Vijay was very caring, protective and supportive. In fact, everyone showed a lot of patience. He told me I would do fine after the first take.”

Neha Sargam says that she was adamant not to let her apprehensions get better of her. Neha Sargam said she did not wish to regret later on that she ruined her work in one of India’s best web shows due to nervousness. She says, “I told myself no matter how awkward you might be you need to deliver your best. I wanted to make it more emotional, from the view of a woman who has been lonely for too long.”

She says congratulations are pouring in from everyone for her work in Mirzapur 3. Neha Sargam gushes, “My family is next level when I said I was scared and worried. I shared it with my mom who said there is no need as many actresses pull off such sequences with flair. She told me to give it my best shot as an actor. My parents treated it with normalcy saying you’re a professional actor and work like one. I feel blessed.” ‘Mirzapur’ Season 3 SPOILERS: 5 Shocking and Brutal Deaths in Ali Fazal and Pankaj Tripathi’s Show That Left Our Senses Numb!.
