Shefali Shah returns as Madam Sir 

In a statement, Shefali Shah spoke about returning as Madam sir Vartika Singh. “Returning as Madam Sir always feels deeply personal. Her significance, both to me and in today’s times, has only grown stronger in my eyes. Vartika is fighting an enemy that not only crosses borders, but also exists in the shadow of everyday society," she said. 

The actress added, “Human trafficking isn’t the act of a few; it’s the symptom of a society that looks the other way. But Vartika, true to who she is, keeps fighting anyway, even if it means saving just one life from the clutches of this murky world.”

Huma Qureshi joins Delhi Crime season 3

The new season will have Madam Sir, reprised by Shefali, and her team coming face-to-face with Badi Didi, who builds her empire by trading away the future of young girls. Huma Qureshi, joining the franchise as Meena, said that playing a negative role, especially of a character like Meena, was a powerful yet unsettling experience.

“She’s shaped by trauma, yet wields immense control; she’s a woman who’s both victim and perpetrator. That’s what drew me to Delhi Crime: its honesty. It never glorifies or sensationalises. It forces us to confront uncomfortable truths that often hide in plain sight,” said the actress.

Tanuj Chopra returns to direct Delhi Crime S3, along with actors Shefali Shah, Rasika Dugal, Rajesh Tailang, Jaya Bhattacharya, and Anuraag Arora reprising their roles. The cast is joined by Huma Qureshi, Sayani Gupta, Mita Vasisht, Kelly Dorji, and Anshumaan Pushkar in powerful performances that bring to life the series’ most thrilling season yet. The show will start streaming on Netflix from November 13.
