Ek Thi Begum 2 will see Ashraf Bhatkar (Anuja Sathe) alias Leela Pawan return to avenge her husband's death. In adherence to her vow to overturn Maqsood’s illegal empire and avenge her husband Zaheer’s (Ankit Mohan) death, Ashraf alias Leela Paswan will be seen dominate a man's world and has everyone in power looking for her - the underworld, cops, and politicians.
The narrative of the first season followed the life of Ashraf, whose husband Zaheer, once the confidante of underworld don Maqsood (Ajay Gehi), got killed. Ashraf adorns the alias of Sapna, a bar dancer and orchestrates a plan to kill everyone responsible for the murder of her husband. But her plans were foiled, and Season 1 ended on a cliff-hanger with Ashraf’s life in the balance.
The second season begins with the hunt for Leela Paswan, another disguise donned by Ashraf who defied death and returned to her mission of bringing the dreaded and powerful Dubai don to his knees.
Season 2 of Ek Thi Begum will see Anuja Sathe reprise her role as Ashraf Bhatkar but under the alias of Leela Paswan.
Speaking about the new season, writer and Director Sachin Darekar said, “the crime world has always intrigued me. Not because of the guns and the turf wars, but because of the underlying emotions that rule these gangsters. This season delves into the emotion of revenge, of how it can blind you to do things that you’ve always been against and might even end up costing you things and people most important to you.”
Anuja Sathe, who plays the protagonist Ashraf Bhatkar alias Leela Paswan, said that Ashraf's journey to avenge her husband’s death in the face of obstacles is
representative of the battles of today’s women, who in their own world are fighting to break the glass ceiling.
“The most powerful people are those who have nothing to lose. My character already lost what was most important to her, her love. She’s determined to go to any lengths to avenge her husband’s death and to uphold her dignity. I also believe her tenacity to overcome obstacles is representative of the battles of today’s women, who in their own world are fighting to break the glass ceiling. This journey has truly been so special and memorable to me,'she said.
Ashraf’s journey will be filled with crime, drama, emotions, and vengeance.
Directed by Sachin Darekar and Vishal Modhave, this series also stars Shahab Ali, Chinmay Mandlekar, Vijay Nikam, Resham Shrivardhankar, Rajendra Shisatkar, Nazar Khan, Hitesh Bhojraj, Sauraseni Maitra, Lokesh Gupte, Mir Sarwar, Purnanada Wandekar and Rohan Gujar in pivotal roles.
