Naagin 7 has stormed the TRP charts with its signature mix of mythology, suspense and high-voltage drama. Headlining the new season is Bigg Boss 16 star Priyanka Chahar Chaudhary, who has stepped into the role of the powerful Naagin and instantly grabbed attention with her commanding screen presence.
As the show gains momentum, discussions around the cast’s reported salaries have become a hot topic. According to a Filmibeat report, Priyanka is said to be earning Rs 1.5 lakh per episode for Naagin 7. Her rising popularity following Bigg Boss 16 — where she reportedly earned between Rs 4 lakh and Rs 7 lakh per week — has only strengthened her market value. Producer Ekta Kapoor’s decision to cast her as the face of the franchise this season appears to be a calculated move backed by her strong fan following.
Sharing screen space with Priyanka is Eisha Singh, who plays Ananta, the sister of the Naagin. Reports suggest Eisha is earning approximately Rs 80,000 per episode. Actor Namik Paul, known for shows like Ek Duje Ke Liye and Kumkum Bhagya, is also reportedly drawing around Rs 80,000 per episode for his role in the series.
The salary buzz has also reignited nostalgia for previous Naagin stars. Tejasswi Prakash reportedly earned Rs 2 lakh per episode during her season, placing her among the highest-paid leads in the franchise. Mouni Roy, who headlined Seasons 1 and 2, was said to have earned between Rs 1.5 lakh and Rs 2 lakh per episode. Hina Khan, who made a brief appearance in Season 5, reportedly charged Rs 1.5 lakh per episode. Meanwhile, Anita Hassanandani and Surbhi Jyoti also commanded significant fees during their respective seasons.
Beyond remuneration, Naagin 7 is reportedly mounted on a grand scale, with an estimated budget of Rs 150 crore invested in VFX-heavy Naaglok sequences and a darker, mythology-driven storyline. Themes of revenge and patriotism add a fresh twist to the narrative.
While Tejasswi Prakash and Mouni Roy remain the highest-paid Naagins so far, industry whispers suggest Priyanka Chahar Chaudhary’s fee could see an upward revision if the show continues its winning streak.
