'Ratings speak for themselves': Eisha Singh DEFENDS Priyanka Chahar amid being called UNFIT choice for Naagin7

Eisha Singh, who recently wrapped up her cameo appearance in Colors TV’s Naagin 7, got into an exclusive conversation with India Forums where she opened up about the initial scrutiny surrounding Priyanka Chahar Choudhary being cast in the show. Addressing the online chatter and mixed reactions, Eisha made it clear that she strongly believes Priyanka is perfectly suited for the role. Being a close friend of Priyanka, Eisha shared her honest perspective and emphasized that online trolling has never influenced her opinion.

When asked about the criticism and the buzz around Priyanka’s casting, Eisha shared her thoughts candidly. She said, “I will say this and I will keep repeating it because I truly believe that Priyanka Chaudhary is the perfect choice for Naagin 7. I genuinely admire her, and this is not just because she is a close friend of mine. We connected through this show, and I feel incredibly grateful and blessed to have met someone so wonderful. She is an amazing person with a pure heart and an exceptionally talented artist.”

She further spoke about dealing with negativity and staying focused on one’s work, adding, “That said, people will always find reasons to troll or criticize, no matter what you do. The best thing one can do is stay focused on their work and ignore the negativity. People will talk regardless, and we are fully aware of that, which is why we have never paid much attention to it. While she was performing, she looked absolutely stunning, and there is no denying her talent. In the end, the ratings speak for themselves.”

Earlier, while reflecting on her exit from the supernatural drama, Eisha had expressed gratitude for her time on the show. Speaking about her journey, she shared, “It has been a beautiful experience, and I am truly glad to be a part of this show. I keep saying this because I have met some of the most amazing people here. It is the biggest franchise on Colors, and being associated with such a wonderful show, backed by a strong production house and Ekta ma’am, feels really special. I genuinely feel blessed. There are many things lined up, and there is something I am currently working on that is very close to my heart. It is kind of my dream project and will be out very soon. I am not allowed to talk much about it right now, but you will know very soon.”

The actress also speaks about her glam avatar for the show and says, ''Honestly, I always want to take up something new, something I have never done before. Playing Ananta was completely different for me, as I had never portrayed a character like this. She is someone who is aware of herself, confident, and carries a strong presence. I have always believed that I am not someone who looks hot, but hearing people say that I am looking good felt really nice. It gave me a sense of confidence. Hot might be a big word, but it did make me feel good. I enjoy challenging myself with roles I have not explored before, and this was definitely one such character. That is why I am so happy to have taken it up.''

For those unaware, Naagin 7 premiered nearly a month ago and opened to impressive ratings, consistently holding the second position on the TRP charts. However, in its third week, the show witnessed a slight dip and slipped to the third spot, while continuing to remain one of the most talked about shows on television.
