Garima Jain Brings a Story of Dignity and Resilience to Life in Hungama OTT’s Hasratein 3
Hungama OTT, one of India’s leading digital entertainment platforms, returns with the much anticipated third season of its acclaimed anthology Hasratein 3, continuing its bold exploration of women, desire, and quiet rebellion. With the first two episodes premiering on 22nd January 2026, Season 3 brings six powerful stories of women navigating hidden longings, strained relationships, and the courage to reclaim their sense of self.
Episode two, Beauty Parlour, set in the narrow lanes of Lucknow, introduces Salma, played by Garima Jain, a resilient beautician balancing low wages, two children, and an emotionally absent husband. Behind her quiet resilience lies years of compromise, financial control, and stolen dreams. When Salma discovers her husband’s betrayal, her world cracks open, forcing her to confront harsh truths about love, marriage, and self-worth. With the quiet support of Suleiman, portrayed by Kunal Verma, who recognises her strength without taking advantage of it, Salma chooses dignity, independence, and the courage to start anew.
Speaking about her role, Garima shares,
“This is a women empowerment story that shows that dreams can be achieved at any age and after any situation. Salma’s journey is about choosing herself and becoming successful despite everything she has been through. I have seen many real-life stories like this, and I truly want to portray strong characters that leave a meaningful message.”
She adds,
“Working with Kunal was a wonderful experience. His approach to the character made the scenes feel honest and grounded, and it pushed me to give my best every day on set.”
Hasratein Season 3 promises yet another compelling chapter of quiet courage, rebellion, and self-discovery, with the first two episodes premiering on 22nd January, followed by new episodes on 27th January and 4th February, streaming on Hungama OTT and partner platforms.
