'Paatal Lok Season 2', featuring Jaideep Ahlawat, debuted on January 17, 2025, and quickly captured the audience's attention with its gripping storytelling. However, fans were left heartbroken by the unexpected death of Ishwak Singh’s character, Imran Ansari.
In a recent interview, Ishwak discussed his reaction to the plot twist and whether there might be hope for his character's return.

The emotional weight of the storyline caught him off guard, reflecting the impact it had on both him and the audience.
When asked about the possibility of Imran returning through flashbacks or other creative means, Ishwak expressed skepticism. He highlighted Sudip Sharma’s commitment to raw, authentic storytelling, stating, “I don’t think that’ll be a possibility in Sudip Sharma’s Paatal Lok. He does what is necessary and stays true to the story. It’s what I’d call ruthless yet beautiful storytelling. He’s our Frank Underwood.”
