Naagin gained immense popularity among TV buffs soon after it was launched in 2015. The supernatural show hooked audiences with its intriguing tale of love and revenge. It followed the lives of "ichchadhari naagins" (wishful female serpents) who have the miraculous power to turn into humans. They engage in a battle with the evil clutches to keep their ultimate source of power, the "naagmani," safe from them. The defeat of evil over good is their only aim.
The thriller show, backed by TV and film producer Ektaa Kapoor, had several celebrated actresses associated with it. The list includes big names like Mouni Roy, Surbhi Jyoti, Hina Khan, Surbhi Chandna, and Tejasswi Prakash, among others. While the female leads portrayed their parts with utmost skill and successfully captivated hearts, did you ever wonder how much money they got for their roles?
