Television’s much-loved fantasy franchise Naagin is all set to return with its seventh season, and the buzz around the show is already sky-high. With Priyanka Chahar Chaudhary stepping into the spotlight
for Naagin 7, fans are eager to see her transformation in the iconic supernatural avatar. Adding to the excitement, her co-star Namik Paul has heaped glowing praise on Priyanka, calling her one of the most composed and considerate co-actors he has worked with. In an exclusive interaction, Namik opened up about Priyanka’s calm nature, professionalism, and commitment to her role, offering rare behind-the-scenes insights into their working equation on the show.
Priyanka is an 'amazing co-star', says Namik
Speaking to
Telly Talk India/ Times Now, Namik Paul shared how Priyanka’s attitude on set stands out, especially in a demanding show like
Naagin. He said, “Priyanka as a co-actor to bahut hi amazing hai. Woh ek toh bahut shaant hai. Unki sabse main cheez yeh hai ki kabhi panic nahi karti. Kabhi woh rattle nahi hoti. Agar kabhi thoda kuch up-down ho jaaye, toh hans deti hain aur jo scene hai, karti rehti hain.”
(Priyanka as a co-actor is absolutely amazing. She is very calm. Her main quality is that she never panics. She never gets rattled. Even if something goes a little up and down, she just smiles and continues doing the scene.)
Namik thinks Priyanka is 'considerate'
Namik further highlighted Priyanka’s thoughtful nature and how she instinctively looks out for those around her. He added, “Doosra, bahut hi considerate hai. Matlab unka first instinct yeh hota hai ki agar woh kuch kha rahi hai, toh offer kareingi. Agar chair hai, toh chair offer kareingi. Toh I think ab teen mahine almost hone wale hain saath-saath kaam karte hue. So this is what I notice, ki first instinct is to think about the other person, jo bahut hi achhi quality hai.”
(Secondly, she is very considerate. Her first instinct is to offer - if she is eating something, she will offer it. If there’s a chair, she will offer that too. We’ve almost completed three months of working together, and this is what I’ve noticed - that her first instinct is to think about the other person, which is a very good quality.)
Namik lauds Priyanka for giving up glamour for Naagin 7
Talking about Priyanka’s dedication to her
Naagin 7 role, Namik praised the choices she made for the character, even when it meant sacrificing glamour initially. He said, “Obviously actress toh bahut achhi hai. And the commitment she has done to have that other look for so long - matlab Naagin bahut glamorous role hota hai jab woh banengi. Lekin unhone uss glamour ko forego karke, initial jo unka role dikhaya gaya hai. I think jo unhone character pakda hai, it’s very good.”
(Obviously, she is a very good actress. And the commitment she showed to maintain that other look for so long—Naagin is usually a very glamorous role when she becomes one—but she chose to forego that glamour for the initial phase of the role. I think the character she has picked up is very good.)He concluded by applauding her positive attitude on set, saying, “And yeh bahut badi baat hai ki unhone bilkul bhi complain nahi kari. And she had a great time playing that character.”
(And it’s a very big thing that she never complained at all. She genuinely had a great time playing that character.)Watch the full interview for more deets about Naagin 7:
