Joining the "The Family Man" universe this season is Jaideep Ahlawat, who plays the menacing antagonist Rukma. Industry insiders suggest that Ahlawat has been paid around ₹9 crore for the role. Ahlawat's entry into the series is highly anticipated, especially given his acclaimed performances in "Paatal Lok" and "Raazi".
Another significant addition to the cast is Nimrat Kaur, who plays a pivotal role as Meera. Kaur is believed to have charged between ₹8 crore and ₹9 crore for her part, adding another heavyweight presence to the already compelling cast.

Ashlesha Thakur, known for playing Dhriti Tiwari, has allegedly earned ₹4 crore, as her character returns with a deeper and more intense storyline.
"The Family Man" has garnered a dedicated fan base since its first season, and Season 3 promises to be even bigger, with higher stakes and new challenges for Srikant Tiwari.
