Why Surbhi Chandna almost said no to ‘Naagin’

On the work front, Surbhi recently opened up about her journey with ‘Naagin’. She revealed that she did not accept the show immediately. During her appearance on Rashami Desai’s talk show, Surbhi spoke candidly about her hesitation.

“I don’t fit the criteria….I told them that I am dying to work with Balaji but give me some other show… then they asked me to think over it and I requested some time. They were supposed to start with an actor before me, then there’s this story of reincarnation, and then comes my role in the series as the Naagin, and that’s when I instantly got into action mode,” she revealed.

Rashami also highlighted the unexpected downside of being associated with the iconic franchise. “Kids come up to you and say, ‘Aunty, Naagin ban ke dikhao na,’” she joked. Despite her initial doubts, Surbhi went on to leave a lasting impact with the role.
