Panchayat Season 5 Script LEAKED? Here's What Neena Gupta Has To Say
Neena Gupta, who plays Manju Devi in Panchayat, revealed the season 5 script has 'leaked'. Writer Chandan Kumar hinted at major twists in season 4.
Veteran actress Neena Gupta, who plays the feisty Manju Devi in the hit series 'Panchayat,' made a surprising revelation: the script for season 5 has already been leaked!
In a candid moment during a conversation with the cast, IANS revealed an upcoming twist from the series — and upon hearing it, Neena Gupta laughed and admitted that the script has already been leaked. We asked the cast, 'In this season, there are three burning questions fans are eager to know. First, who will win the elections? Second, how far will Sachiv ji and Rinky ji's love story go? And third, will Sachiv ji finally crack the exam or not? Could you shed some light on any of these?"
Replying to this, writer Chandan Kumar stated, 'There are three questions, and one more is, who shot Pradhan Ji? So, I think, you have to watch the season for all four questions. You will get a lot of answers. And those answers will come with some twists. Some will be straightforward, and some will be twists. And, I think, that will make a good season 4."
Neena then asked us, 'What do you think? Who will win?" We replied, 'We think Manju Devi will win. But after that, something unexpected might happen." Hearing this, Gupta laughed and said, 'The script has leaked. Get ready for the next season — the script has already leaked!"
Further, when asked whether the script for Season 4 was ready before Season 3 had even released, the writer confirmed, 'Yes, I had already started writing. By the time Season 3 came out, a significant portion of the script was already complete. And just a few months later, after the monsoon, we were on the sets shooting for the next season."
On a related note, Panchayat Season 4, which premiered on June 24, picked up the story of Abhishek Tripathi, fondly known as Sachivji, in the village of Phulera. This season dives deeper into the political landscape, centering around the upcoming elections and the intensifying rivalry between Pradhan Ji and Bhushan.

Neena Gupta opens up about her FIRST husband; says she NEVER experienced the love shown in movies or books: 'Mere peeche koi paagal nahi hua'
Neena Gupta , who is known for being frank about her personal life, recently took a nostalgic trip down memory lane, sharing sweet and bittersweet stories of her early romances. She recently opened up about her first love. Neena's first marriage was to Amlan Kusum Ghose, but it was short-lived. The two parted ways amicably within a year. Later, she made headlines for her relationship with former West Indies cricketer Vivian Richards , with whom she has a daughter, Masaba Gupta . Years later, she found lasting companionship in Vivek Mehra, a New Delhi-based chartered accountant, whom she married privately in 2008. 'My first love was with an IIT guy' But long before all this, Neena had her heart set on her 'first love', a young man studying at the Indian Institute of Technology. Sharing details of this youthful romance, she told News18 Showsha, 'My first love was with an IIT guy, who I went on to marry eventually. My college fellows used to be very jealous of me at that time. Their parents wouldn't allow them to wear spaghetti straps and I was a modern woman, according to them. Woh salwar kameez-chunni waale the aur woh mujhse jalte the." When a date didn't go as planned Neena didn't just stop at recalling how her friends reacted to her first love. She also narrated a rather awkward incident from that period, proving that young love often comes with its own set of hurdles. 'This one time, my then-boyfriend and I decided to go watch a film. I revealed my plans to one of those girls by mistake and then they went and told my mother that main ek ladke ke saath picture dekhne jaa rahi hoon. My parents didn't let me go. Back then, we didn't have phones and so, I couldn't inform him. He kept waiting for me," she shared. Has Neena ever truly been in love? Though she spoke warmly of her first love, Neena also offered a surprising reflection on whether she's ever experienced the kind of love that novels and films talk about. 'I've never been in love. The love that I see in movies and read in books, I've never experienced that in real life. Nobody has loved me like that. Toh main bhi kaise kar loon? Karna bhi toh padhega na kisi ko. Mere peeche koi paagal nahi hua (laughs). But I had madly fallen in love with someone. It didn't translate into a relationship because it wasn't possible," she said. On the work front, Neena still wins over audiences with the roles she picks and her bold choice to try new things. Recently, she was seen in 'Metro In Dino' and the web series 'Panchayat'.

Neena Gupta Recalls Her 'First Love' With An IITian: ‘My College Fellows Were Jealous'
Neena Gupta looks back at her first marriage. She also talks about how she never experienced the love she sees in movies and read in books in real life. Neena Gupta is an open book. She has never shied away from talking about her past relationships. Her first marriage was with Amlan Kusum Ghose. It was a short-lived union and the duo amicably parted ways within a year of their marriage. Following a brief engagement and another relationship with former West Indies cricketer Vivian Richards, she tied the knot for the second with Vivek Mehra, a New Delhi-based chartered accountant in a private ceremony in the United States in 2008. Now, speaking exclusively to News18 Showsha, Neena opens up on meeting her first husband and how one of their first dates went wrong due to her classmates. 'My first love was with an IIT guy, who I went on to marry eventually. My college fellows used to be very jealous of me at that time. Their parents wouldn't allow them to war spaghetti straps and I was a modern woman, according to them. Woh salwar kameez-chunni waale the aur woh mujhse jalte the," she recalls. The actor, who was recently seen in Metro In Dino, further continues, 'This one time, my then-boyfriend and I decided to go watch a film. I revealed my plans to one of those girls by mistake and then they went and told my mother that main ek ladke ke saath picture dekhne jaa rahi hoon. My parents didn't let me go to. Back then, we didn't have phones and so, I couldn't inform him. He kept waiting for me." But in a surprising turn of events, she reveals that barring one relationship, she found herself questioning if she has even fallen head-over-heels in love with a man. 'I've never been in love. The love that I see in movies and read in books, I've never experienced that in real life. Nobody has loved me like that. Toh main bhi kaise kar loon? Karna bhi toh padhega na kisi ko. Mere peeche koi paagal nahi hua (laughs). But I had madly fallen in love with someone. It didn't translate into a relationship because it wasn't possible," she shares. According to Neena, the biggest issue that couples deal with is opening up to each other about their deepest vulnerabilities. And that, she believes, often resurfaces during arguments, leading to heartbreaks and breach of trust. 'I often tell Masaba (Gupta) to keep her personal emotions to herself and not talk about it to anyone. I tell her to not talk about her past. The idea is to be in the present," says Neena, who became a grandmother in October last year. The other thing that the Badhaai Ho and Uunchai actor feels has further complicated modern-day relationships is dating apps, which has made people commitment phobic. 'I know of young people who're sick and tired of dating apps. I'm shocked! I never wish for dating apps to exist during my time. I would say that I'm very old school and I prefer to wear pure cotton and pure silk rather than synthetic fabrics. Dating apps too are synthetic," she remarks. First Published:
