The UK Twitter page of Colors a few days back released a promo video for the highly anticipated ad much awaited third season of Naagin. In the promo, we can see a woman in white churidaar and kurta being dragged by two men. She is left to die in front of an old temple surrounded by snakes.

While the face of the woman wasn't shown, she did look quite like Surbhi Jyoti. And turns out the fans' prayers have been answered. Surbhi is playing the lead for the third installment of the series!

A source exclusively confirmed the news to PeepingMoon and also stated that the Ye Hai Mohabbatein's Anita Hassanadani will play the antagonist. Along with the two ladies, Karishma Tanna will also be in the show, as the third Naagin. Whether she will play a negative or a positive role, is not clear for now.

Rumour mills also churned that Karanvir Bohra might reprise his role. However, the actor will not return and it's Rajat Tokas who will be seen playing the male lead in the show.

The first two seasons of Naagin broke the record for being the most watched Television series ever which is why season 3 has the audience biting their nails! In the earlier seasons, it was Bengal beauty, Mouni Roy and Adaa Khan who played the shape-shifting snakes known as Icchadaari Naagin. The series catapulted Mouni to such fame that this year she will be making her debut alongside Akshay Kumar in Gold!
