The wait was worth it for the new season with Manoj, Jaideep
Hindustan Times Bengaluru
|November 22, 2025
It's taken all of four years for the third season of The Family Man to finally drop, and the cast has no doubt spent that time dodging the same question. Was the wait worth it?
Manoj Bajpayee returns as Srikant Tiwari, now navigating a broken marriage with Suchitra (Priyamani). His kids are firmly in the grownup zone: his daughter prefers the pronouns they/them, while his son, bullied at school, is convinced he must become an alpha. As political tensions flare in Nagaland, Srikant's agency steps in, only to face a brutal setback. The force behind it is the mysterious Rukma (Jaideep Ahlawat), executing tasks for Meera (Nimrat Kaur). Their worlds inevitably collide, setting Srikant and Rukma on parallel paths of revenge.
