Aashim Gulati is returning as the principal actor in the second season of Taj: Reign of Revenge after playing a significant role in the ensemble cast in season one. Salim, the exiled son of emperor Akbar, is portrayed by the actor. The first season ended on a cliffhanger. He now returns to his kingdom with the intention of exacting revenge on his own father for the passing of his lover, Anarkali. Aashim's character Salim will be seen as a very different person after a 15-year gap, but the actor admits that owing to unanticipated circumstances, he had to shoot the two contrasting seasons all at once. Aashim discusses the program and how the two seasons differ from one another in an interview.

Many people were taken aback by Aashim Gulati's outstanding performance as Prince Salim in Taj: Divided by Blood. Taj: Reign of Revenge's second season has just begun streaming on an OTT platform. In important parts, it also features Dharmendra, Naseeruddin Shah, Rahul Bose, Taha Shah Badussha, and Aditi Rao Hydari. Aashim also talks about his time working with Naseeruddin Shah and Aditi Rao Hydari during the first season of the show. Additionally, he discusses making his Bollywood debut around the time of demonetization.  Aashim discusses the new season of the show, the popularity of the previous season, and the development of his on-screen persona in an interview.

When asked how his life has changed after the success of Taj: Divided By Blood (the first season), Aashim says, “As actors, we seek validation and it begins with the first take when we start shooting. At times, you know you have done a good job and sometimes you don't. In an eye contact with the director, you come to know how did it go. Actors are greedy but very sensitive. I have maintained that nothing can affect me, good or bad. I like to keep myself grounded.”

He adds, “I think things have changed in terms of the people I am meeting after the release. They used to meet me with love earlier too, but now, there’s some sort of gleam and light. When people say that they can’t imagine anyone else as Salim, it’s a very big pat on my back.”

 

The show's second season is led by Aashim. He explains when asked if that makes him feel burdened., “I don’t take burden. My responsibility is between action and cut. My job is to perform with utmost honesty. I just have to work hard and keep moving forward. I don’t know how people will receive the second season but I am sure that the stakes are higher this time. Expectations are huge since season one got so much love and appreciation.”
