At the NDTV Yuva 2026 session titled Mirzapur Ki Woomanya, Shweta Tripathi shared a much-awaited update for Mirzapur fans. She said that the writing stage of Season 4 is officially in the works.
She said, "Thankfully jo humein pata hai, season 4 ki lekhai chaalu hai. (Thankfully, what we know is that the writing of Season 4 has begun). We, actors, are fans too. We are also looking forward to the next season. Whatever has happened in Mirzapur The Movie is all from season one. So, when going for season four, ye sab bhool jaana. Mirzapur is the best investment we could ever make. It's a project that keeps giving. I'm not done with Golu yet."
Different Shades Of Her Beloved Mirzapur Character - Golu
Furthermore, Shweta Tripathi shared what she is most thankful for when it comes to her character Golu from the franchise, with whom she has spent nine years now.
She said, "This journey with Golu has been very exciting over nine years. One of the strongest, toughest girls I have met. I hope no one has a life like hers. Her life started with college elections, waha se ab Baahubali ban chuki hai. Every character we play as an actor has a part of us that is left behind and one that goes with the character. There is a lot I have taken from her, one of them is actually fitness."
She added, "I started it late in life. Agar ek ladki gun utha rahi toh physical and mental health zaroorat hai. (If a girl is picking up a gun, then physical and mental health is necessary.) I get creative satisfaction when I play a character like this in Mirzapur, especially the female characters. Aise nahi likhe gaye hai. (They haven't been written in this way). So you feel grateful. Koi opportunity milega tab hi kuch kar paoge, so that opportunity is very important. (Only when you get an opportunity can you do something, so that opportunity is very important.)"
