Naagin 4's cast has wrapped up shooting for the show with their emotional farewell speeches all over the internet. Fans loved Nia Sharma and Vijayendra Kumeria together, however, the story failed to strike a chord with the audience.
Speaking of Hina, the actress said that she is very excited to be a part of the show as Ekta had insisted on her taking it up. "Naagin is a hugely popular franchise and I am very happy to be associated with it and thrilled to play the leading role. While fantasy fiction is a new arena for me, it is equally fascinating. Be it the sets, overall look, and attire, storyline, or overall experience, it looks extremely promising. I would like to thank Ekta Kapoor for believing in me and I am certain I will be able to bring her vision to life," she said.
