Insta Empire tells the story of Naksh (played by Nishant), who lives as the poor son-in-law of a rich Indian family. Despite enduring insults and mistreatment from his in-laws due to his poverty, Naksh deeply loves his wife Anika (played by Nyrraa). Their relationship strains when Anika decides to leave him for a wealthier man. However, Naksh has a hidden secret: he is actually the heir to Surat’s richest family but was rejected and cast out after a risky decision. A twist of fate reveals his true identity, transforming him into an overnight billionaire and the owner of an Insta Empire.
Available in English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and Malayalam, the audio series has already garnered over 250 million plays worldwide and becomes the fifth Rs.100 crore audio blockbuster this year, after Insta Millionaire, EkLadkiKoDekha To (Saving Nora), The Return and The Billionaire Accidental Wife.
Nishant Malkaani, essaying the role of Naksh, said, “Portraying Naksh in ‘Insta Empire’ was a rollercoaster ride of emotions. From the highs of ambition to the lows of betrayal, it was a journey that challenged me as an actor. The experience of shooting has been incredible, and as a team, we’ve worked really hard to bring this story to life. Our audience will truly enjoy the final creation. Working with an audio series platform like Pocket FM has been unique, offering a new and innovative way for us as artists to connect with listeners. It’s fascinating how different mediums of entertainment continue to evolve, and I’m thrilled to be a part of this exciting shift towards immersive audio storytelling.”
