Mumbai: TV actress Priyanka Chahar Chaudhary opened up about stepping into her iconic role in Naagin 7 and how she handles comparisons to the show’s previous heroines.
Focus on performance, not affected by comparisons
In an exclusive conversation with IANS, Priyanka said she focuses on giving her 100% to her character, accepting the challenge while also respecting the show’s legacy. On the question of comparisons, she said:
“Yes, there will definitely be comparisons, and that’s normal. I think it should be taken positively because comparisons happen everywhere. There have been many iconic Naagins over the six seasons of the show, and we’re putting in our best efforts in Season 7 as well.”
She also said that her approach is simple—to play the character with honesty and carry forward the show’s legacy.
Excited to start a new journey
Priyanka has been promoting the show on social media and is extremely happy about this new journey. Introducing her character, she wrote on Instagram:
“Meet your new Naagin, coming to your screens very soon. My heart is filled with gratitude today. A huge thank you to @ektarkapoor ma’am @shobha9168 for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to carry forward the Naagin legacy—it’s truly a dream come true.”
She also thanked Balaji Telefilms, Colors TV, and Jio Cinema, calling it “a homecoming experience.”
