Television fans have reason to rejoice as popular actress Priyanka Chahar Choudhary makes her much-anticipated return to the small screen. The star is now headlining the seventh season of the massively successful supernatural franchise, 'Naagin'. The show, which premiered on December 27, 2025, is already generating significant positive buzz among audiences.
Embracing the Iconic Naagin Legacy
Stepping into a role previously immortalised by celebrated actresses like Mouni Roy and Tejasswi Prakash comes with immense pressure. Priyanka acknowledged this in a candid interview, expressing both gratitude and excitement for the opportunity. She stated that the 'Naagin' franchise is iconic and that her predecessors have set remarkably high benchmarks.
However, the actress is determined to carve her own path. While she deeply respects the legacy, her focus is firmly on bringing her own individuality and honesty to the character. Priyanka aims to create a distinct identity for herself as the new serpent queen, promising a fresh take for loyal viewers.
Setting the Record Straight on 'Naagin 7' Casting
There has been considerable speculation about the timing of her casting. Rumours suggested she had signed the contract even before entering the 'Bigg Boss 16' house. Priyanka has now categorically denied these claims. She clarified that the offer for 'Naagin 7' came to her while she was inside the Bigg Boss house, marking the true beginning of this new chapter.
Reflecting on her career choices post the reality show, Priyanka revealed a mindful approach. After her 'Bigg Boss' stint, she was careful not to rush into projects merely for visibility. She emphasised a philosophy of quality over quantity, and believes 'Naagin 7' is the perfect project that aligns with this principle.
Reflecting on Bigg Boss and Fan Love
Looking back at her 'Bigg Boss 16' journey, where she emerged as a major fan favourite but finished as the third runner-up, Priyanka Chahar Choudhary holds no regrets. She admitted that winning would have been special, but carries no disappointment.
For her, the overwhelming love and support from fans far outweighs any trophy. That experience gifted her immense love, respect, and a powerful, unbreakable connection with the audience, which she values above all else.
