Actress Nimrat Kaur talks about her role in ‘The Family Man Season 3’

Actress Nimrat Kaur opened up about the empowering experience of portraying a strong female character in “The Family Man Season 3.” She reflected on navigating a male-dominated writer’s room and bringing depth to her role. Speaking about the intriguing dynamic of playing such a role, Nimrat shared, “I think it’s fascinating that the writer’s room is all men. We are meeting a woman in a man’s world who’s running a show like a man and is written by men. You know, I find that fascinating and it is so empowering to take that position and then fly with it and then look at your own self.”

“And many times, I used to actually think about my own self and I used to be like you know it would be kind of cool to be this self-assured about so many situations which otherwise I would just you know be under a quilt about.”

The ‘Airlift’ actress also reflected on the contrast between her character’s confidence and her own personal life. Kaur highlighted how her profession allows her a sense of freedom and empowerment. “It is so interesting that what I’m trying to sell as an idea or as a character on screen, I’m not sure if I can pull it off in real life. I really don’t know if I have it in me with my conditioning, my upbringing, all of that. This is the freedom of being an actor,” mentioned Nimrat.

Nimrat Kaur played the role of antagonist Meera in the “The Family Man Season 3.” Directed by Raj & DK, the show featured Manoj Bajpayee, Priyamani and Jaideep Ahlawat. The third season of The Family Man premiered on Prime Video on November 21, 2025. Speaking about the show, Manoj Bajpayee had earlier described his return as a “true homecoming.” In a statement, he shared, “For the past four years, fans have hounded me with the question, ‘Kab aa raha hai Srikant Tiwari?’ And we finally have the answer with a new season that’s not only bigger, bolder, and more exciting but also raises the stakes higher than ever for Srikant, as he finds himself cornered with no respite in sight.”

After her studies, Kaur moved to Mumbai and worked as a print model. She began working as a theater actress, appearing in plays such as Baghdad Wedding (2012), All About Women, and Red Sparrow, working with directors like Sunil Shanbag and Manav Kaul. Kaur was launched on screen in a two-part music video for the songs “Tera Mera Pyar” by Kumar Sanu and “Yeh Kya Hua” by Shreya Ghoshal in 2004. The videos were directed by writer-editor Apurva Asrani. She also did TV advertisements. Kaur made her film debut with a small role in an English film, One Night with the King (2006), which was shot in Rajasthan. Her Hindi film debut came with Peddlers in 2012, produced by Anurag Kashyap. The film was screened at Cannes Film Festival to good reviews. Kaur came to public attention in India when she appeared in a mid-2013 Dairy Milk Silk commercial.
