COLORS’ Naagin 7, starring Priyanka Chahar Choudhary in the titular role, is not just stealing the naagmani but also ruling the TRP charts and winning audiences’ hearts. The universe is bolder and bigger than ever, and joining the show is powerhouse performer Akashdeep Saigal, who has already made an electrifying entry, wreaking havoc in the Naagin universe. Akashdeep has portrayed several iconic villains who have redefined negative characters on Indian television. Now, after a nine-year hiatus, he makes a spectacular return with COLORS’ Naagin 7, ready to unleash unprecedented chaos in the Mahasheshnagin’s life.
As Ananta (Priyanka Chahar Choudhary) rises from the ashes of her bloody wedding, transformed into the fearsome Mahasheshnagin seeking revenge for her family’s brutal massacre, a new and formidable enemy emerges. Amid this turmoil enters Erul, a villain who threatens to derail Ananta’s mission to protect the naagmani and avenge the Suri family. His arrival marks a new chapter of darkness, where the stakes are higher and the battles more deadly than ever.
Talking about his much-anticipated return to television and his character Erul in Naagin 7, Akashdeep Saigal shared, “I may have played villains before, but I have never portrayed a character like Erul. He is unlike anything I’ve ever done, from the mystical outfit to the powerful dialogues and the psychological depth required. Everything operates on a different level. Even my entry was crafted to be legendary, and I’m incredibly proud of it. I took nine years for myself to recharge and rediscover, and now I’m pouring every ounce of my passion into this role. I’m on my toes every single day, immersing myself in this powerful world. What moves me most is my fans’ unwavering love. Even after being off-screen for nine years, they kept me alive through edits, tweets, and constant manifestations for my return. That kind of appreciation is rare and humbling.
I didn’t have to think for a second before saying yes to such a popular franchise like Naagin. Erul is not just a villain; he’s a force, and I’m thrilled to bring him to life.
