While the wait for “Mirzapur” season 3 spanned four years, fan reception has been mixed. Despite a strong viewership on Amazon Prime Video, the season’s pacing and lack of action fell short of some viewers’ expectations. However, one character has emerged as a breakout star – Neha Sargam in the role of Saloni Tyagi, fondly dubbed “Saloni Bhabi” by fans.
Sargam’s portrayal of Saloni has garnered significant online attention, particularly for her captivating romantic scenes with co-star Vijay Varma. While she appeared in season 2, the focus on other characters overshadowed her performance. This season, with increased screen time, Sargam has captivated audiences, even overshadowing the season’s overall reception.
Fans are showering Sargam with praise, even declaring her the latest “national crush.” Her character stands out as a bright spot in a season some consider underwhelming. This phenomenon echoes the immense popularity garnered by Tripti Dimri’s “Bhabi” character in the film “Animal.”
The upcoming season promises heightened drama, with Saloni poised to discover truths about Vijay Varma’s character. This revelation suggests an even more pivotal role for Saloni in the narrative. With her newfound fanbase, it remains to be seen if Sargam’s rising popularity will translate into a surge of acting opportunities.
