In the latest segment, titled 'Aashram', Puja Banerjee embodies a lady Guru, set to premiere on October 30, 2025. In Aashram, the actress portrays a tranquil yet enigmatic healer managing a couples’ retreat—where relationships unravel rather than heal.

Previously, Puja Banerjee appeared in Hungama OTT's anthology web series 'Hasratein S2.'
