Mumbai: Since Priyanka Chahar Choudhary’s dynamic entrance in Bigg Boss 16, her fanbase has been fervently following her every move, eagerly anticipating her next career decision. One show that has consistently been linked with her name is Ektaa Kapoor’s Naagin 7. Rumors had swirled that Priyanka would succeed Bigg Boss 15 winner Tejasswi Prakash as the new lead serpent in this popular supernatural series. Adding fuel to the speculation, a doctored picture of Priyanka donned as a Naagin recently went viral online, driving fans into a frenzy of excitement.
However, it now appears that these hopes will be dashed, as Priyanka Chahar Choudhary has officially declined her involvement in Naagin 7. In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Priyanka was directly asked about her rumored role in the series. “No, I am not doing Naagin,” she clarified, effectively putting an end to the rampant rumor mill.
Despite this explicit denial, the buzz around her potential participation in the series had been intense. Multiple sources cited her as a frontrunner for the lead role, alongside names like Sumbul Touqeer, Rubina Dilaik, and Ayesha Singh. With Priyanka’s categorical refusal, speculation will now shift back to these other potential candidates, filling the void left by Tejasswi Prakash, whose tenure as the lead in Naagin 6 ended in July.
The rumors took on a life of their own, particularly with fans who are ardent followers of the Naagin series. The viral picture of Priyanka in a Naagin avatar added a layer of believability to the speculations, making her supposed casting seem more plausible. However, Priyanka’s consistent position has been that she currently has no plans to feature in any TV shows, including Naagin 7. Her focus appears to be elsewhere, although she has yet to publicly announce her next project.

The legacy of the Naagin series, known for its blend of mystery, mythology, and supernatural elements, makes the lead role a highly coveted position in the TV industry. Since its inception, the franchise has featured various talented actresses, transforming many into household names. Ektaa Kapoor, the producer of the series, has a keen eye for casting seasoned and new talents that fit the mold of the enigmatic serpent women who drive the show’s enigmatic plot.
With Naagin 6 having concluded a few months ago, viewers have been left in a state of suspense, wondering who Ektaa Kapoor would cast next. Earlier speculations not only included Priyanka Chahar Choudhary but also other prominent TV actresses, turning this casting process into a hot topic among TV audiences and media outlets alike.
The outcome remains to be seen as to who will eventually take on the mantle of the lead Naagin. What is clear, however, is that Priyanka Chahar Choudhary will not be that person. This development leaves room for other actresses to step into a role that has consistently garnered high TRPs and massive fan engagement.
Meanwhile, Priyanka’s stance on not returning to television at this moment sparks curiosity about her career trajectory. Will she venture into films, web series, or another unpredictable domain? Her fans are no doubt waiting keenly for her next big move.
Adding another layer of intrigue is the fact that Priyanka’s career decisions seem shrouded in deliberate mystery, making it hard for even the most well-informed sources to predict her next steps accurately. For now, her followers and fans of the Naagin series will have to temper their excitement until official announcements are made.
In conclusion, while Priyanka Chahar Choudhary may not be the next Naagin, her prominence in the industry ensures that whatever project she undertakes next will be eagerly watched and scrutinized. As the search for the new lead continues, the curtain has momentarily closed on one of the most talked-about casting rumors in recent TV history.
