The show doesn't shy away from depicting the harsh realities of the caste system and how it drives people toward cults.
The season finale leaves viewers on a massive cliffhanger. Pammi begins to realize that her "God" might actually be a monster. The investigation hits a wall, and Baba Nirala appears more untouchable than ever. Why "Aashram" Became a Hit
The first season of Aashram is a gripping, albeit dark, look at how power corrupts. It successfully sets the stage for the subsequent seasons, where the battle between Pammi and Baba Nirala turns into a full-scale war.
The series opens by introducing the caste-based oppression in a small town. When Pammi (Aditi Pohankar), a young wrestler from a lower caste, is mistreated, Baba Nirala intervenes. This act of "kindness" lures Pammi and her family into becoming his devoted followers.
Often referred to as "Lord Bobby" by fans, his portrayal of the soft-spoken yet menacing Baba Nirala was a revelation.
