Zeeshan Khan on playing a nevla in Tejasswi’s Naagin 6: ‘I have wanted this kind of a role for a very long time’

After his short-lived stint in Bigg Boss OTT, actor Zeeshan Khan decided to try his luck at another reality show and entered Kangana Ranaut ’s celebrity prison Lock Upp as a wild card contestant. However, he was shown the doors after he physically assaulted fellow kaidi Azma Fallah , who insulted his girlfriend Reyhna Pandit on the show. Well, after his eviction from Lock Upp, the actor was roped in to play the role of the antagonist, a nevla named Rainaksh, in Ekta Kapoor’s supernatural thriller series Naagin 6.

In a recent chat with ETimes, Zeeshan opened up about the love he is receiving for his role of a shape-shifting mongoose. He was quoted saying, “I can't express how grateful I am for the kind of love I have been receiving, it's very overwhelming. I have wanted this kind of a role for a very long time and now that I have it, I feel blessed that I am able to do justice to the character. Even though my character is negative it has made place in the hearts of the audience in such a short span of time.”
