Actress Priyanka Chahar Choudhary has been announced as the lead in the supernatural series Naagin 7, part of one of Indian television's most successful franchises. Her look was revealed during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 19 on Sunday, but the response from viewers was largely negative. Many internet users criticised her costume and jewellery, calling them excessively flashy. Some questioned whether the outfit suited the traditional Naagin aesthetic, while others speculated about cosmetic procedures. A section of her supporters, however, defended the actress, urging others to wait and judge her performance once the show airs. The Naagin franchise, backed by Ektaa Kapoor, has featured stars like Mouni Roy, Surbhi Jyoti, Nia Sharma, and Tejasswi Prakash. Naagin 7 is expected to premiere later this year, continuing the legacy of the shape-shifting serpent saga.
Mixed Reactions to Priyanka's Look and Casting
The internet reacted strongly to Priyanka's first look. Several viewers felt the golden outfit, which featured a gathered skirt with a thigh-high slit and a fringed bralette, was overly elaborate. Comments labelled the styling as the worst Naagin look in franchise history. Some users also commented on changes in her appearance, attributing it to cosmetic enhancements. However, a portion of her fanbase defended her, emphasising that judgment should wait until her acting is seen. Priyanka, who was a finalist on Bigg Boss 16, expressed gratitude to Ektaa Kapoor and the production team for trusting her with the iconic role. She described the opportunity as an honour and destiny fulfilled.
