Aspirants (2021)

Aspirants (2021) is a heartfelt drama that follows three friends — Abhilash, Shwetketu (SK) and Guri — through the grueling journey of preparing for India’s UPSC civil services exams and the life that follows. Set against the bustling, competitive atmosphere of Old Rajinder Nagar in Delhi, the series moves between the past (their years of studying, sacrifice, rivalry and camaraderie) and the present (the aftermath of those choices), exploring how ambition, failure, loyalty and personal growth shape each of them. At its core it’s a story about friendship tested by dreams and the costs of chasing a singular goal. Watching Aspirants is an emotional and relatable experience: you’ll feel the tension of late-night study sessions, the sting of setbacks, and the warmth of loyal companionship. The show blends raw realism with moments of humor and nostalgia, offering intimate character-driven scenes and moral dilemmas rather than glamorized success. Viewers can expect to come away moved, often reflective, and with a clearer sense of the human side of competitive exam culture — its pressures, small victories, and the lasting bonds forged along the way.
