'Naagin' Karishma Tanna to carry the 'hissing' baton ahead

After essaying the character of a shape-shifting snake for two years, she bid adieu to the show - a move that she claims was "a tough decision." Roy admits that the Ekta Kapoor production holds an important place in her career. "Naagin is close to my heart. I will miss everything about the show. It was something that was conceptualised around me," she says.

Mouni, however, is keen on a Bollywood career with two upcoming films, Akshay Kumar-starrer Gold, and Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt-starrer Brahmastra. But, a career in the movies doesn't imply that it's endgame for Roy in television. "No way, I am not quitting TV," she clarifies, adding that she would love to be part of finite shows. "Such shows give you a chance to concentrate on your character for a few months and help you break monotony."

Ekta Kapoor shared the first look of the character essayed by Karishma, who sports an all-black ensemble, bold silver jewellery and a face done heavily with make-up. The poster's backdrop has a gothic feel to it. Naagin 3 will reportedly feature three 'naagins', and two more actresses who will be a part of the show are yet to be revealed.
