Speaking about the plot development in season 3, Neha said: “Niharika will be seen in a new look in this season. Of course, you will still see glimpses of the old Niharika, but now that she has formed her own company with Puneet, she has changed.

“We see some similarity between him and JJ (Janardhan Jaitley) because his target has changed. She takes on several interesting cases this season, all inspired by real life events.

The actress further said, “I have grown up in an environment which has boosted my morale. I know a lot of people who operate in gray areas, but my parents raised me to see things strongly as black or white.”

“I am not able to connect with Niharika this season because she is entering the gray zone. However, I understand the intention of our writers and director for Niharika's character development and consider it necessary.

The courtroom drama series recently released its trailer.

Neha plays the role of Niharika, an ambitious lawyer who has recently opened her own practice and aims to become the best lawyer in Delhi.

'Illegal 3' will be released on JioCinema Premium from May 29.
