Naagin has a massive reach. But what really matters is the storytelling and Ektaa's instinct. She knows exactly when a character needs to enter a narrative. So, I can only say that when I was contacted, it was more of like realignment with her. Because we already share a good bond, and I respect her a lot."

Naagin after so many years, if you ask me, I can only say that because the timing felt right. I wasn't chasing a comeback, but I can say I was waiting for an alignment. When Ektaa spoke, it felt instinctive rather than strategic."
