When Maheck Chahal was first offered the role of a naagin on TV, she wasn't sure if she would be able to pull it off. The actress says, "Though I am a Sikh, I have been born and brought up in Norway, so my Hindi was never good. I could not read or write Hindi. When I was confirmed for the role in Naagin 6, a part of me wanted to reconsider because I thought I would not be able to speak Hindi well."
When she finally accepted the offer, her friends felt she was making a mistake. She said, "My friends joked saying, 'You don't know how to speak Hindi, and you have decided to play a Naagin!' They never felt that I would be able to pull it off for a year. Now when finally my work has been appreciated and the show has lasted for more than a year, I am having the last laugh! I am glad my hard work has paid off. I worked hard on my diction and even had a tutor training me in Hindi on the set."
