Naagin 6 based on pandemic; Ekta Kapoor says, ‘Gaaliyaan padne wali hain’

Season 6 of the popular television show Naagin is around the corner. During a press conference on Tuesday, Ekta Kapoor, who is the maker of the show, revealed that season 6 will be based on the premise of a pandemic.

Ekta further stated that her friend suggested the idea for the storyline and that she should show what people have been through in the last two years. She said, “When my friend narrated this concept to me, she told me you should do this and corona is not just about the disease, it is a mind-changing thing. She told me I am no longer dealing with relatable topics in the country. I actually knew at that point that ke mujhe gaaliyaan padne wali hain because agar yehi kaam koi really celebrated maker karta (I knew that I was going to get abused because no celebrated producer does this), things would have been different. Naagin is an out and out commercial pulp show and there will be criticism, and I am fine with it because I am not calling it Corona. I want to show what people went through in the last 2 years."

Talking about haters, Ekta said, "I knew very well that I would get trolled. I was ready for it. In the west, if you see, they make shows out of real incidents and they work well. Like Titanic, this came out of a real incident. The pandemic is something that the US-based OTT channel will do. We are witnessing history and we have all changed in the last two years, and Naagin also had to change."

Bigg Boss 15 winners, Tejasswi Prakash and Mahek Chahal, will play the role of Naagin in Naagin 6.
