Attention all Naagin fans! Actress Priyanka Chahar Choudhary will lead the next season of 'Naagin' after an official announcement was made on 'Bigg Boss 19'.
The revelation took place on a recent Weekend Ka Vaar episode, in the presence of host Salman Khan, continuing the show's tradition of being the platform for significant television updates.
Choudhary, who first gained the nation's attention as a finalist of 'Bigg Boss 16', will take on the highly-awaited role of the shape-shifting serpent, or 'Naagin', ending months of intense speculation and internet theories about the lead for 'Naagin 7'. The casting declaration has instantly gone viral due to Choudhary's immense popularity and her history with the Bigg Boss franchise.
Priyanka Chahar Choudhary expressed profound gratitude about being selected for the iconic role. She stated that she still remembers the moment on Bigg Boss 16 when creator Ekta Kapoor first hinted at having found her next Naagin, calling the final choice for this legacy role a true honour.
Choudhary acknowledged the gravity of the role: "I've always believed that some roles demand an actor to be more than a character; they challenge your strength, your range and your spirit. Taking charge of the 'Naagin' universe is a huge responsibility, and I will do everything in my power to uphold it."
She further added that being revealed as the new Naagin in front of Salman Khan and millions of viewers "feels nothing short of destiny's plan," and she is "super grateful to Colors and Balaji Telefilms for trusting her" with a story that's truly going down in "hiss-tory as pure serpentainment."
